It is hell living in Trumplandia...SW PA

You have a unique perspective that must make the situation now all the more terrifying. I saw fascist ideology creeping into the Republican Party during the Reagan nightmare- I know it was there before, but I was too young to understand. The xenophobia, racism, Nationalism, faux-patriotism and unrestrained corporate power are ten times worse now, with Nazi-style propaganda and projection in full force. Never did I imagine that it could get this bad, especially with such a vile, amoral and disgusting creep like Trump at the helm. It’s astounding how cult-like his supporters are; there is literally no lie too big or no action too heinous that can shake their faith in their “dear leader”. I can say with absolute certainty that if Trump announced that he was opening concentration camps for Dems, liberals, people of color, etc., 90% of his supporters would cheer him on and volunteer to turn in and round up their neighbors. The other 10% would rationalize it as a “necessary evil” to “make America great again”.
