What we're up against - Trump and the Right have a veritable smorgasbord of Emmanuel Goldsteins

George Soros. Well duh... Some old Jewish guy with lots of money, of course they're going to go for that.

The Deep State. Yep, yep, yep.

Liberals. Uh huh. They'd gouge out their own eyes if they were told it would "own the libs".

Muslims. It's not about being born in a certain place or wearing a hijab. One can also be a "secret Muslim"... like Barack Obama, John Brennan, or even (According to the Tea Party) Grover Norquist.

Even words like "Happy Holidays" or "Politically Correct" can set them off in a two minutes hate. Yes.

We've got to realize this ain't Crossfire, this ain't you debate side A and I debate side B... the right wing thinks increasingly you are an enemy soldier, a shadow operative for some vague conspiracy of conspiracy-ness.
