"... A fury is building in Middle America that has nothing to do with Russia or impeachment or “Access Hollywood.” It’s rising among people who managed to look past all of that to find something they liked about the president. And now he’s repaying them with a stubby middle finger in their faces. [snip]
"... [T]hey see what the president thinks of them and their concerns. Here, you dupes and dopes, Trump says — here’s a video from a woman who believes in demon dream sex. Or here’s one from a washed-up game-show host who says covid-19 is an election ploy. Or how about this idea: Drink some bleach.
"They’re
worried and suffering, and their president might as well be saying: I
don’t care if you live or die. And it’s coming through loud and clear.
The political center is slow to anger. It’s also slow to forget." -- David Von Drehle, in today's Washington Post. His op/ ed is a good read, with righteous anger about the situation we find ourselves in, with the subtext "this is what you voted for."
