It seems as though every generation has between 20 and 25 percent of its population which will turn out to live in fear of anything that is different from the small piece of the world they spent their formidable years in.

I’m still trying to figure out if this is the result of nature (simply being born socially retarded) or nurture (being born in an environment bereft of exposure to other cultures and ideas).

In the long run it doesn’t really matter, I guess. This is a group of people whom every generation must remain ever vigilant of. What they lack in basic social skills or decent upbringing, they more than make up for in their steadfast determination to eliminate anybody who is different from them.

Complacency is how people like Donald Trump find their way in to positions of power.
