I think Trump is a symptom of a large and grave problem that has been festering in this country for over a generation now. Income inequality that has no equal since medieval times and we have it in our relatively young country today.

Since moving from the relative suburbia of New Jersey to North Carolina, I have seen areas of rural poverty that left me stunned. If anyone thinks a concern about Fascism matters to people mired in decades of poverty, I’d say you’re wrong. To some degree, the Republicans bear more of the blame, but there is enough to go around that blankets both parties.

Trump has gotten the votes he’s gotten because people are not content with their lives and think they have nothing to lose. The saddest part of that is he cares not one whit about them, nor will do anything for them.

I’m waiting to hear how TFG’s injury is a result of something that ricocheted and hit his ear…. It’s wasn’t an AK47 high capacity round clipping his ear. Come on now! Those rounds don’t connect that way. Totally lying about this. Also, is the patch still really necessary???
