It's just anecdotal, but I know two people who came here legally and jumped through all the hoops to become citizens. They are not Hispanic. One is Filipino and the other Middle Eastern, and they are not terribly supportive of people that are trying to circumvent the process they had to go through.

We're not talking about him or any other Italian American. We're talking about a proto-fascist rabble rouser and bully. The name is apt.

Jeb Explains About Anger

No, not that Jeb. Jeb Lund--intelligent British pundit on the USA beat.

Quote:
But you don’t need some grand overarching political science theory. There are millions of miserable people in America who know exactly who engineered the shattering of their worlds, and Trump isn’t one of those people – and, with the exception of Bernie Sanders, everyone else in the field is running on the basis of their experience being one of those people.

When you are abused and bullied enough, anyone willing to beat up or burn down whomever put you in that position is your friend. Even a bully can be a hero if he targets others bullies – and that is, more or less, what Trump has done since day one.

...

And as long as people can enjoy the elbow-throwing wish-fulfillment of watching him in action, most of the rest doesn’t matter to them – not the bombast, not the war-mongering, not the unfeasibility of even his signature promises and certainly not the consequences if he keeps them. If the system is already so broken that it abandoned you, its preservation is not your concern. Hell, burning it down might be what you want most.

Anger has a clarity all its own. It renders most detail extraneous, and it animates like nothing else. It is not to be underestimated, and, at this point, we will probably have to wait until November to find out if it truly has been.

But he misused "whomever". How can you believe someone who abuses the English language like that.

Thanks DonQ, great article. If this all comes true, Trump will become the next President since Bernie is also a career politician.
