Indeed, D. The problem isn't so much whether Joe should stay or go, it's the inexplicable attraction to the demagoguery and blatant fascism that millions of our citizens display. Personally I'm sick to the teeth of America's rural and working class's grievances and open hostility towards the urban and college educated of us, as if siccing an authoritarian lunatic onto the country will fix all their problems. To me one of the most disappointing things about the Trump era is that not only has there been all along an invisible and enormously large swath of our citizenry who not only do not fear the rule of a strongman but actually actively desire it, and it was so very very easy to uncover and bring them out into the open. Sadly they will still be around regardless of what happens this November.
