I share the frustration of many commenters that you're just now coming to believe that Trump is a dangerous threat to our entire system. It's bewildering to hear people say some variation of "how could we have known??", when it has all seemed so obvious to many of us for years that this is the road we were going down.

That said, I do deeply appreciate your willingness to change your mind, and to talk about it publicly. The reality is that a third of our society is in Trump's thrall. At my best, I don't want those people to disappear, or suffer in powerlessness for years. I want them to change their mind, and I know how hard that can be. So thank you!
