The Trump campaign is just screaming to the rooftops "WE ARE THE BADDIES" and somehow half the country hasn't noticed.

Or worse: they’ve noticed, and they like it

It's turned into professional wrestling. I'm surprised trump isn't giving his speeches from inside a ring.

Or worse, doesn’t care.

Seth, with all due deference to you and your reporting over the year or so I have followed you. That portion of the country you report on HAS NOTICED and approves. That other half consists of liberals who don't notice fascism [1930s?] and indifferent. I [and you] have shouted for years he's fascist

Half the country are baddies too evidently.

Anyway, an America in which immigrants are the enemy, McCarthyism is cool, the Alien and Sedition Acts were a great precedent, J6 was normal political behavior (for Republicans), MLK was a communist "race hustler," & Gerald LK Smith's "Christian Nationalism" is celebrated will be a very dark place.

They aren't half the country. Less than a quarter of the country voted for Trump in 2020. They say they're the "silent majority," but they're actually tiny loudmouths.

Not only have they noticed, they WANT to be the baddies.

I think half the country both notices and approves.

They’ve noticed and they find it appealing. We can’t go on pretend half the country aren’t bigots who want a fascist ethnostate of their own.
