Donald Trump wants to return America to the Good Old Days when most people thought it their God-appointed role to suffer for the Master Class, when people believed their Bibles instead of objective science, when people accepted pollution as the purest evidence of progress, and when WASP supremacy was the accepted norm.
Donald Trump makes me glad that I have no children.
