Trump’s nomination is the first time American politics has left me truly afraid -by Ezra Klein

I live in Ohio , and yes we should be very afraid. Once you get away from the core downtown urban areas the Trump support here is overwhelming. To top it off Roger Ailes has succeeded very well here and though many see Trump as a Total Dick they hate Hillary with a greater passion . They may sit out the election or even worse side with the Dick.
Its not just the working class whites. My work involves working and reacting with the people in the higher end neighborhoods of Cincinnati. They are avid Fox listeners so they consider Hillary as damaged goods. Through the years I have enjoyed sparring with my Republican customers in the past it was all good natured , now it is serious .
Many out there may not like this, but during these discussions in the past year , I was always able to make a very convincing case for Bernie, and many of these die hard Republicans were beginning to come around.
Don't get me wrong I know the math and will support Hillary , but my God this is scary. Many of us due to financial considerations do not have the option of leaving the country, but have to tough it out.

After a tough fight till November and fighting for the Democratic ticket if we loose and since I am closing in on retirement age I may need to follow up on the old 60's saying and get a RV and Turn on and Drop Out , LIVE completely off the Grid.

BE AFRAID, BE VERY AFRAID.
