50. "I genuinely fear that these are much more perilous times than even we here at DU want to believe."

You are correct. I have Asperger's and grew up gay in Amarillo Texas a half century ago. There is very little that Trump, Bannon, Roger Stone, governors Abbott and DeSantis, etc. say that doesn't sound like an echo from my youth. I do hear more Democrats waking up, especially after Project 2025 was made public. That gives me some hope.
