Brilliantly, sadly observed

[David Kilroy]

There are plenty of educated racists, but to take a cue from Ish,
they're still ignorant losers. I want Trump investigated and
thoroughly hosed with scandal. It offends the hell out of me that a
man running for that house on the hill said a heckler deserved to be
physically abused. Everything about Trump grates. This IS how Hitler
got started.
