In those statements is a clear belief that Trump's base is shockingly and saddeningly large, but limited in size and already at capacity, and we still have a large majority that is available to stand against that and say NO. On that, I was wrong. I have not yet begun to process what that means as far as my perception of human decency and humanity. I think I'm going to struggle to do that when the time comes, if I'm honest, in a somewhat dark and very real way.
No time for that right now though.
