Yes, that focus group was...ah...not as "funny" as it was supposed to be as it was sort of a laughing on the way to the gallows thing. I mean, Triumph is moved toward suicide listening to them and I had a twinge of that feeling myself. You hope people are not that ignorant but there are some really lost Trump supporters out there.

Here's an even more frightening thing, sorry, when RBG passed Trump was doing a rally in Minnesota and his aides intentionally did not tell him she had died because they were afraid of what Trump might spew off the cuff to his "fans" and even worse that cameras would catch his "fans" cheering the death of a women's rights icon.  They knew the level of disgusting if video of that hit the airwaves would have gone through the roof and would have turned off...well...actual thinking and feeling Americans. There were tense moments as people in the crowd became aware of the news and began screaming at Trump that she was dead. His aides held their breath and got lucky that Trump could not hear the shouting about RBG being dead and he ended up not hearing about it until he came off stage. Of course at the following night's rally his "fans" began  chanting "Fill that seat!" 

So, I recently watched Paul Schrader's Patty Hearst which was quite interesting to watch again during these horrid times. It provides interesting reflections on "radicalization" that Schrader has touched upon before including in his more recent and wonderful First Reformed.
