I'm pretty sure they agree with Hitler about there being a master race that should be elevated above all others, they just disagree with what that master race actually is (hint: it's themselves).

The one I lived with for 5 weeks told me he wished Hitler would have won. Guy lived in Saransk in Russia. He'd be maybe 25 now.

I expect several authors to suffer permanent psychosis as they try to come to grips with the fact that the American population came as close as it did to electing a man like Trump.

I believe Trump has more campaign offices in Israel than in Florida, or was that Ohio? It may have changed but these things have an impact.

Question - as someone living in a Democratic stronghold (Oregon), is there anything meaningful I can do to help beyond skipping going out to eat a few times and kicking the cash to Abuela? Seems like volunteering for the campaign around here wouldn't really do much cause it's friggin Oregon.

Help any downticket races that are in trouble, phone bank, convince Republicans online that not voting sends a clearer repudiation of Trumpism than not voting for him but voting for the downticket

We'll see how large the impact is, of course, but I suspect even in a worst-case scenario it will give Hillary a slight edge over the Donald. I would in fact expect it to be significantly larger than that, but "nothing matters" and all that

Yeah, but apparently Trump enjoys snatching defeat from the jaws of victory, seeing as how he spent the post-FBI investigation time making GBS threads on a Gold Star family instead of cementing the lead.

Samurai Sanders: Nov 4, 2003; Pillbug

I guess I'm not completely dead inside yet because it still really bothers me how much of Trump's campaign was based on completely baseless claims, and how relatively forgiving society in general has been about it. I don't mean claims that can be disputed with other sources, or claims about the future that no one can really know, I mean claims about completely real and documented things that were completely unresearched and pulled out of an rear end right then and there.

I thought baseless claims were fine when you're at the bar with your friends but not in any kind of professional setting, but it seems that was not a mainstream belief after all, if about half of Americans are ok with baseless claims.

I guess I kind of had that idea for a long time but especially due to the birther thing coming back it's become clear to me in a new way. Whether Trump wins or not, I now know that facts are just not as important to our society as I thought.
