More recently I'd taken to occasional visits to fox news and Breitbart to see what Trump supporters were saying, but that, it turns out, is pointless...they're saying whatever they think Trump wants them to say. It's also a rather painful experience, because amid all the vile and violent comments at those sites, I'm forced to remember that I once called myself a conservative. Some people have a skeleton in their closet. I've got a rotting, stinking, fetid corpse in there. It’s been well over a decade since I’ve listened to right-wing talk radio.
