Still, they're people. They just want to make a little headway for themselves and for their families. Kinda like that part in the preamble about wanting to "...secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity..."
And as a reminder - as much for myself as for anyone else - they're Americans.
Even the rapid schmucks who act like Berserkers when it comes to partisan politics are friends and neighbors.
Republican Voters Against Trump
We're getting a little taste of what it must have been like in this country in the 1850s and 60s. The kind of real animus that leads to bloodshed and open revolt and formalized armed rebellion. And it's going to take an awful lot of really hard work to mend those fences.
I think Trump believes he's just kinda playing it out as a "strategy" to line his pockets, but there are those working under him - just beyond our view - whose lust for power is the same shit we've seen forever. The kinda of Greater Fool attitude that pushes to conquer the world even while knowing that men far better than them have tried to make that parlay for 500 centuries - and the world remains undefeated.
We have much to do.
