Well.
He's in.
All this time, I have been hoping that it was all some elaborate hoax or that I, somehow, would awake from this very long and intense dream. But, this does seem to be real.
And now, in Canada, we have our own little racist millionaire demagogues running for the leadership of our Conservative party.
In a lot of ways, I am actually a conservative person. But I seem to have lost the thread where having moral values becomes having discriminatory values; where believing in hard work becomes a belief in the essential decrepitude of the less fortunate; and where a belief in thoughtful government spending becomes a belief that only private-sector corporate citizens and the super-rich are entitled to public subsidies.
This is truly a sad day.
