Me, too.
The real reason I'm scared is that there is not much that can be done about it. The ravings of the right are not the cause of our problems, they're the result of them. It's easy for the historian to look back and say this caused that which led to this, but it's never clear while it's happening. It's why I don't like to engage in political debate, it changes no one's mind and accomplishes nothing. We may be swept up in a current of our own making, but we're swept up nonetheless.
It is possible to change the world, if you press hard enough at a weak spot, but you never know ahead of time where they are. And even if you're successful, you never know what the change you precipitate will be.
