I hope a part of that is true, but I have doubts.
The New York Times went out to northern California and talked to some more people whose major complaint seems to be that what they thought the country meant to them, all the things they took for granted, had been pulled out from under them. This kind of story is a genre of its own these days, and the subtext of every entry in the genre is a feeling among the people in them that they were Americans, dammit. This kind of thing shouldn't happen to people like them.
I see precious little evidence of this sense of betrayal in my region of the flyover area. Let's not get ahead of ourselves. Let's not give these cretins more credit than they deserve. Let's remind ourselves that today, July 6, 2017 sees pResident Trump with a Thirty-nine per cent approval rating nationally. I, regrettably, remain unconvinced that the 90 million or so of us that make up that 39% will ever possess the situational awareness required to realize they've been had. And for that reason, I think the likelihood of Trump's re-election in 2020 is substantially north of zero. Drumpf's strategy is clear: those useful idiots elected me the first time. I didn't need anyone but them. They're all I need. He might be right.
