Best article I have seen in the New Yorker

on Trump and his followers written by George Saunders, one of America's great writers, who traveled for months to Trump rallies around the nation and got up close and personal with supporters and protesters. Titled "Trump Days" you'll find it in the July 11 &18 edition.

did you see the issue in which all the cartoons were about Trump? I think it was in Feb., but it all runs together.

this might have something to do with it....listening to Randy California as I type:

He grapples with such deep moral issues even in his short fiction. Thank you for posting this!
