At least in the minds of Trump and his more fervent supporters. Or at least that’s what they’ll start believing if they’re told to.

I don’t know what the right word is. “Thankful” definitely isn’t it. But Teutonic Trump has definitely revealed a very ugly side of America that many of us have been comfortable minimizing or ignoring for fifty years. Even with shenanigans, Trump got fifty or sixty million votes legitimately, fifty or sixty million people essentially begging for fascism.

This country has just gotten too soft and scared.
