You're damn right, Stuart. I had an epiphany this morning. I grew up in Centra NY with lots of immigrants. I'm realizing that I know the twitchiness - the ready FEAR - that you speak of. It was always just under the surface. It's in me.
I'm on a little (mostly blue) island in Texas where that isn't prevalent, and I wonder if the ready EMBRACE of Fascism isn't part of the racist arrogance of this place.
We have a lovely community here, but things change quickly. For me, it's time to leave. And I'm stuck. Hope this lovely community can hold!
