When my daughter was a senior in high school, I remember noticing, almost in passing, that her friends were very cute. Which made me realize her friends’ fathers probably found Molly very cute.

I think there are a good many Donald Trump voters who are sick of government as it is practiced in America and genuinely want to blow up the system and see what happens. They are stupid – or at least unwise – but not necessarily racist.
