This is an anachronistic take. It's analogous to assigning a specific behavior in the past as a cause to a patient's current diagnosis of cancer. The US has always had these struggles. It's a historical fluke that we've never had a serious challenge of fascism to our democracy.

He's going to absolutely ruin our economy, and we won't get back what he breaks.

I invented absurd names for them "philosophical objects" I objected to my preposterous attempts at mysticism it's simply a play on color this is a dalliance

With the patience of a saint, @charlesgaba.com decodes the pile of half-baked and thrice-baked healthcare proposals tossed onto the Trump "healthcare plan" Read Charles, then put this garbage out of your mind.

I feel that I'm unlikely to be asked to prove my citizenship because my skin color isn't the one they are targeting. But, I did get a passport card to carry after Trump was reelected. At the time, I hoped I was being absurd for thinking I would need it, but here we are...
