One of the most unnerving things about the whole #Trump experience was how he was able to radicalize people you wouldn’t have thought would be susceptible to it; anecdotally, I saw people who I had long considered to be strong-minded independents, and who I thought had the mental fortitude to see what a bozo Trump was, fall into the MAGA cesspool.
That’s a one-way road. The people they were before are gone, and losing them is a trauma most of us have gone through.
