Formerly lifelong and registered Democrat and leftist also proudly voting for Trump in the election. What has happened to this country is horrifying and still hard for me to come to grips with and fully comprehend. In abstract terms yes but with the actual people we know who are not abstractions and who seem otherwise good. Hard to fully come to grips with. We are living in a dystopian novel or in a Solzhenitsyn book. All that is supposed to be “somewhere else”, not “here”, not “today”. Thank you for this post.
