How the right has taken over everything and people holding on to Trumpism makes no sense to me either.. the only thing that I can even begin to figure out, is that the republicans concentrated on land, while the Democrats concentrate on people.. and the land won.. this is not us.. people are terrified in little towns of the bullies on the right.. they are scared of being the outsider in the community and the right is puffing around like they own us with their screams and threats and black flags..
