Icon Trumpland Uber Alles

With enough effort, you may find a smattering of Clinton supporters who exhibit such overt hostility, but they aren't the norm. There is a messianic component to the Trump adulation. He, and he alone, understands our fears and grievances that arise from economic and demographic changes. He, and he alone, can turn back the clock to that safe and rosy time when white men held all the power. That nostalgic time they enjoyed prior to civil, women's, and gay rights. His followers simply cannot be argued out of their positions. Trump has an emotional hold that combines the worst elements of religion and nationalism. And they're armed to the teeth!

To paraphrase a character Bette Davis once played, "Hold on America, it's going to be a bumpy ride!"

If anyone is interested in the left-wing going batshit crazy, they might want to begin at Yale. I'm generally politically liberal but the PC police at our nation's colleges and universities have had a chilling effect with respect to freedom of speech and freedom of expression. A case in point:

I'll bet that Ross, our resident Yalie, bemoans what is happening in New Haven.
