For myself, in addition to his character and views, his stupidity scares the hell out of me.

Yet another reason to fear a President Trump. They will become a faction of his goon squad. <br /><br />Speaking for myself, there is no irony in my anxiety about Trump. He is plainly unlike any other Republican candidate in the authoritarian overtones of his personality and rhetoric, and he rose to power through racist demagoguery, plain and simple. Perhaps our civic institutions will be strong enough to resist him. But I'd rather not find out. <br /><br />I realize that I'd been using the Halloween festivities as a psyhological barrier to the impending moment of truth. Now that we're over this week's "hump day," I'm trying not to think past this weekend. Once Monday rolls around I think I may die from an aneurysm.

I am just curious about the extent of your anxiety, and since you blog about it, ironically or not, I feel justified in asking. <br /><br />By the way, one of the best arguments for supporting Hillary so far is how much the FBI obviously dislikes her. Anyone who the FBI dislikes that much must have something positive about them. s. wallersteinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17448905469871566228noreply@blogger.com
