Yeah. Can we stop acting as if Trump is a normal political candidate?
I have friends and family members who vote Republican, Democrat, and Independent. Thanksgiving dinner usually descends into a political free-for-all where my siblings and my parents go at it over social welfare, foreign affairs, and the environment. I love sparring over political questions and hearing new points of view.
But that's not what this election is about. It's about a serious candidate versus a thin-skinned narcissist who has made white nationalism a pillar of his campaign and who can be provoked into a childish temper tantrum by a tweet.
This is not a Romney or McCain, or even a Bush, who for all his failings honored Hispanic culture and read books voraciously. This is a seriously unstable, intellectually incurious man who uses racism, xenophobia, and misogyny to sell his product, and who has shown unbelievable disrespect for the United States, its allies, and its 240-year-old republican experiment.
