    Fascism, American-Style

    All I Know: I hope that the new Trump electorate accepts that they (as individuals) willfully and openly conspired to elect a dangerous candidate (and his coterie) who promised to destroy our country and our partnerships abroad. The laws that could have disqualified this convicted/dog-whistling...
