Flynn's son is the same way. Having narrowly escaped indictment with his father, he's constantly calling himself a "proud son" the way Donnie Jr. does. These are grown men with children of their own, and they still worship their fathers?

Maybe there's some authoritarian impulse involved here. In Donnie Jr's case, what's weird is that his father has shown pretty constant contempt for him.

Maine has been encouraging Somalis to go to Maine because of their strong work ethic and beliefs about getting educated for several decades.

And there's not even enough there to repopulate a small city.

in KC work very hard to help each other get ahead . They try to get Independent as quickly as possible.

They get a lot of community help when they first get here and then they start helping other new people.

that when any immigrant comes here, gets educated, gets a good job, makes plenty of money and raises their family in peace, that really pisses the republicans off. They hate seeing anyone but themselves and people who are like them do well.

Republicans have been dog whistling for 50+ years. The Trumps don't dog whistle. They use a bullhorn.

Absent racism, there is no viable Republican Party.

Our elected officials need to be willing to be blunt about that. Just say it like it is. We aren't dealing with people who simply have a different take on the role of government or tax rates. We're dealing with an epidemic of racist, sexist ignoramuses. We need to emphasize education reform. Make civics, anti-racism, anti-sexism and media literacy mandatory curriculum in every school.

The trumpers I know call it "government indoctrination". If they can eliminate public education, they can ensure they have enough ignorant, hate-filled voters to keep them in power to do more damage to those who do not vote for them.

Yeah, the trumpers who told me about this indoctrination knew full well my wife taught school for nearly 30 years, my son teaches, and they're all friendly. There is just some kind of barrier to relating political views to reality amongst these folks.
