@MLClark Yeah, I found that article to be quite chilling and--all too likely. Not liking the feel of it.

Joyce, have you ever felt this unsettled by the culture before? Does this feel like a whole other level of dangerous nonsense, or another exhaustingly familiar wave of something you've always had to hope voters would resist?
@MLClark oh yes.
I really didn't want to go through a rerun of the '80s.
There have been others like RFK Jr in their eras. William Jennings Bryan is the first one who comes to mind.
