Just getting around to reading this, but it’s very worth your time. Count me among those who got it from the beginning. I have my own thoughts on some of the archetypes represented among those who didn’t, but I’ll save that for another time. newrepublic.com/article/2042...

newrepublic.comThe Americans Who Saw All This Coming—but Were Ignored and MalignedCall them the Cassandras: the people—mostly not white and male—who smelled the fascism all over Trump from jump street. Why were they “alarmists,” and how did “anti-alarmism” become cool?

There’s still an element out there that seems to not think it’s cool to take what we’re facing seriously. Shares a lot of Venn diagram with people who think The Parties Are The Same.

I got divorced in 2016, with a clause to continue living in our house for 5 yrs. When Trump got the nom in July, I put it on the market- I saw this (or something) coming. Everyone told me I was being alarmist. But tg I did, bc otherwise I'd have hit that 5 years in the middle of his plague.
