I believe the subject matter of the video here will ultimately play a large contributing factor to bringing down Trump. His referring to Somalis as “garbage” and his doubling down on it here is abhorrent to most Americans. Yes, his …

What Do “Silly Little Idiots” Believe?
I doubt too many people, idiots or otherwise, believe that folks coming across the border with no skills or familiarity with English are stealing their jobs, or that they’re getting mortgages and buying up all the property. In many ways …

“Somalis Are Garbage” — “This Is Why I Voted for Him”
As a Trump supporter said the other day, “What he’s doing right now is exactly why I voted for him.” If Trump can continue to heap misery on Somali-Americans and other non-whites, his base will continue its love affair with …

Cutting Off Family Members over Political Disagreements
My mom was an avid Fox News acolyte and Trump supporter, but our family didn’t “cut her off.” We were both amazed and saddened that a Bryn Mawr graduate and voracious reader could have the same political sensibilities as the …

Trump and Voter ID
On social media, there are thousands of comments on Trump’s statement here, at least 95% say: “It’s about time!” or “Trump is saving our democracy from the liberals!” There’s a catch, however, though it’s not one that Trump supporters are …

Is It Actually Hard to Convince the MAGA Base of Trump’s Position on Drugs?
I doubt it. If there’s any take-away from the last 10 years, it’s that these people are not psychologically capable of questioning anything that comes out of Trump’s mouth.
