I am. An immigrant of eastern European birth, a political science PhD, a public school teacher in the Midwest. I am worried. I have seen authoritarianism and I have seen the American electorate. I am very fucking worried.

@publickovacs I was sympathizing. Don't understand why touche? @SECRET_ASIAN_MAN
@poemblaze
I am sorry - it makes sense to me after a long number of years of experiencing that shit doesn't just happen but rather it comes to me. I have been saying I am The Universal Shit Magnet. I realize now that you did not know that and had no context. Sorry about that.
@publickovacs I wasn't upset, just confused. āļø @SECRET_ASIAN_MAN
@publickovacs I'll be a student. How has trump expanded his voters in the last four years?
@SECRET_ASIAN_MAN
There are ppl who were Trump-curious whose response to their own grievance and to the constant baiting from MAGA has led them to be Trump voters over the last few years. Emboldened bigotry plus permission structure equals fascist voters.
@publickovacs @SECRET_ASIAN_MAN I can completely understand. It must feel like a bad political system is following you around.
