“In Philadelphia this past weekend, I met a number of people who’d given up on democracy. … there were the grim young men who said, hell yeah, they were going to vote for Trump. They spoke of the Republican presidential candidate as if he were Tony Montana, the gangster played by Al Pacino in the film Scarface: violent, lawless, and powerful. Trump elicited respect laced with fear. According to his supporters, he’d stand up to America’s enemies abroad and be tough on crime domestically. Several said to me (with the usual preface of ‘don’t get me wrong but’) that a woman president would be too weak or ‘mixed up by hormones’ to do those necessary things.” [editor’s note: Yet another “progressive” pundit who ignores the utter incompetence of the candidate and her campaign, and focuses on her anatomy and “sexism” – SAT] (11/06/24)
