It’s chilling to hear those awful words in your voice. It shows us how starkly deranged they are when Trump’s voice and theatrics are stripped away.

Many say it can get no worse, some say we are already doomed. Maybe we are, but I still think the Independents and Dems will prevail in November - always the optimist, and agree with you that these wingnuts are getting brasher and seem to be more secure in their rhetoric because the real world is not moving fast enough toward stopping it, and I mean really stopping it. Many have already crossed the line and should have already been arrested, but they are still on the stump spreading their racist hate and Fascist ideology. Many Dems are trying, but they are still coming across as wanting everybody to cumbaya and it just ain't going to happen. It sounds like revolution, but I think that all these wingnuts should be rounded up, charged with the crimes they have committed and are committing every day, put them on house arrest and wait until they can be heard in a court of law, or they can admit their crimes and move on. So simple (really isn't that simple - I know), but the frustration of these jackasses continuing to get away with destroying the rights of everyone hopefully is growing amongst the mostly silent majority. These ignorant white supremist can't see that - they only see their "power," which they don't really have, being taken away. Where I live (East Tennessee) the poorest and less educated support Trump with flags on their pickups and signs in their yards as if he is a savior. If they would only take the time to listen to reason (what's that?) maybe they could back down a bit. OK, rants over. Thanks Steven for giving guys and gals like me an opportunity to ventilate. Few listens in my world.

This quote comes to mind lately....“It is certain, in any case, that ignorance, allied with power, is the most ferocious enemy justice can have.” ― James Baldwin
