I did not know about the Woody Gutherie song and Sesame Street and Grump Towers. Holy sh%t that is awful. That is just another part of the whole trump background that all adds up to make sense how he got here today.
I don't know if you've ever seen a movie called Boys From Brazil (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Boys_from_Brazil_(film)) about how they cloned Hitler and scattered his progeny around the world hoping to have another hitler rise. All the clones were put into abuse relationships with their adopted fathers and all the fathers were killed at age 63 to simulate Hitlers father dying in hopes that it would create the same exact circumstances of Hitler's youth. That is what reminds me about DJT. Abusive neglectful father and trained to hate and discriminate at an early age. Now we have a Hitler wannabe.
I could never understand the power that Trump has over people. How they go from normal middle of the road to raving lunatics waving trump flags. It is a cult. Hitler also created a cult. But in Hitlers case, he was egged on by a horrible economic situation. In our case, it's not clear what is egging people on. Sure some of it was economic but only for some people. Some of it is racism for he has plenty of brown skinned followers. Part of it is religious.
If Harris doesn't win, I do think this will be end of the USA as we know it. It won't be a bloody civil war, but a slow decent into 50 separate countries as we self sort ourselves into the societies we want.
