And yet one red line after another will be crossed, and you will accept it... and even defend it.

"They had it coming" after all...

You may not notice the change- but we do... I am sure others around you have. You have surrendered your mind, divorced from facts, rationality, and humanity. You don't dare question the next step that you will take down this path...

Because turning back now would mean seeing all that you threw on the roadside in your mad journey to get this far.

If you now support separating children from their parents and using them as hostages to force desperate parents to give up claims for asylum ...well, then you tell yourself its just, its rational, because you supported Trump and YOU are a nice sane person... so THIS step down the path makes sense, really, its actually long overdue- we should have been doing this all along if only we had a strong ruler like Trump before...

Besides... They Had It Coming...

Whatever you do, you don't ponder seriously the fact that 2 years ago you would recoil at the idea... that was then, this is now...

And you are prepared for the next step...

When (not if) refugees start dying from substandard care in detention camps you will rationalize that as well...

Oh, you might say to yourself 'that's a real shame'- but you will remind yourself its really their fault for coming here in the first place... eventually you will convince yourself that really YOU are the victim, because your tax dollars shouldn't be going to give them any care at all...

And so you are ready for the next step...

THEY have it coming...
