text: I have no idea what Trump supporters are. Those who aren't Trumpists themselves may merely be credulous to a self-defeating fault. I have spoken with quite a few who inexplicably thought Trump would progress things in this country. Perhaps they're just terrible judges of character. Are they surprised to watch Trump nihilistically tear down a century of progress, upset, or in a state of denial? Who knows. I'm not sure they're even willing to give themselves an honest answer, much less provide one to someone who starts on the true left for progress. After all, in simplistic football game mentality, those who aren't on your team are always The Enemy. Too bad this is a recipe for social division and enslavement to feudalistic thinking and politics. To Enlightenment thinkers, that's somewhere in the rear view mirror. We're not going to live in nor give any quarter to some new American dark age nor its proponents.
