How culpable are left-leaning writers, editorialists and pundits and others that sold us the bunk that the disgruntled masses that followed Trump were upset about economic concerns and not because they were rank racists, unhinged anarchists, radical white nationalists and just plain woefully delusional, irrational individuals?

Trump is a problem for many opinionators, commentors and editorialists. He just is. There is no nuance. There is no equivocation. There is no mystery, no depth.

Election officials have resigned in Fredericksburg, Texas because of stalking and death threats. The "Big Lie" that Trump won the election is traveling through the Texan populace faster than gonorrhea through a border town zona rosa.

Anthropologists must be chuckling and shaking their heads, if not wringing their hands. There was a singular, very important component of the rise of civilizations -- story. Without it they would have stayed just a bunch of loosely connected hunters and gatherers, individually avoiding catastrophe, trotting into oblivion.

America has a "big" problem. We kill ourselves with "big" guns, we sicken ourselves with "Big Gulps" and "big" burgers, we challenge the environment with "big" houses and "big" trucks and SUVs - big is everything - even boats and televisions and RVs have gotten big.

All the handwringing going on now on the Left, liberals, and progressives, over the conservative blitzkrieg is warranted. Because the Right has absolutely become a tribe. And this should scare the sh*t out of us.

I remember when it was obvious that Fox News had the power to destroy the country -- many Lefties equivocated. I remember when Trump slithered forth from the rotting Republican womb -- many Lefties equivocated. Now we are watching a nuclear armed madman march into Ukraine, and many are equivocating.

The chilling thing about my personal experiences with being called a "liberal" is that my fellow Americans, smiling or not, hated me and what I represent and are being taught this in their churches. It was precisely this type of activity that motivated the nineteen men to create death and destruction on September 11, 2001.
