Quote for the Day:

There was a general dismissal of the growing danger. Media members and politicians were largely affluent and privileged and out of touch with what was happening on the ground in other parts of the country. When they looked at Trump, they saw a lark, a passing, boorish fad that could boost ratings and drive donations but would eventually burn itself out and give way to something else. They lacked an understanding of religion as possessing the elements I grew up surrounded by, including conspiracy theories and the type of repugnant white nationalism percolating on the political scene. Even as some of us sounded the alarm regarding authoritarian trends fueled by these ideas, it was more or less regarded as hysterical hairpulling.
