A customer of a pizzeria in Pennsylvania, my home state, is interviewed on the news. “It’s hard to fathom the guy who’s been making my pizza for 25 yrs is a gangster & terrorist,” he said, “but the person who shows up in an unmarked car, full mask, & armor to take him away is somehow the good guy.”

Some churches in my liberalish town in Kansas also fly pride flags, usually with an "all are welcome here" message. It's sad that churches worshipping a man notoriously kind and welcoming have to advertise "we are not assholes."

I've thought for a while that the main thing Trump's supporters like about him is that he gets away with behaving like an asshole in a manner they'd like to but can't. But you put it better than I ever could.
