I just think, somehow back then, the word got out. Somehow regular people got the word that an unfit lunatic wanted to be Gov. And the people responded. I don't know how we break that barrier, that wall... now. Our media calls him "President" when they should be calling him traitor, destroyer, conman grifter. We are in a dystopian magat conumdrum. Tough, unthinkable. The people we "elect" no longer represent us. They represent him.
