In a recent NY Times article about an incident at a Brooklyn restaurant in which a Trump supporter punched a woman in the face who dared to criticize Trump, one commenter mentioned that she and her dinner companion recently found themselves speaking in hushed tones at a restaurant for fear of some sort of reprisal from nearby listeners. (I gather this was a very red locale.) She then went on to say that the last time she found herself behaving that way was on the eve of the Iraq War when anyone who dared criticize Bush's planned invasion was branded a traitor. So here we are all over again. Funny how that always happens whenever Republicans win everything on the table. They start grabbing everything in sight like wild-eyed winners at a Vegas casino. And we're all supposed to just go along with it like good little comrades. I don't think so.
