I think we're doing a lot worse this year than we did a couple years ago. I agree with the alarmists as far as that goes - we've become more polarized, we've become more ready to fight, and the nazi scumbags are emboldened. But this whole zero-to-Hitler thing doesn't help anything. We need to focus on the problem we have rather than the problem we learned about in high school history class. If you're primed to look out for ICE smashing windows in the ghetto you ignore shit like passports being stripped off Latinos born along the border.
