Trump’s assault on the American psyche is relentless. We live with crazy every day and few have seemed to notice or remark on the utter insanity spewing from this guy and this party. It is disorienting, disturbing and disheartening to think our glorious American experiment could end because of Donald fucking Trump.

I grew up with the notion of "principled conservatives," only to find out 30-40 years later that the very few of the public figures were actually that. As Sarah Longwell and JV Last have noted, some of those conservatives really did want to control women, be open racists, support America First ideals, etc. I think of today's "principled conservatives" as people like Longwell and JVL and Charlie, but the MAGA people want no part of them. Where did this MAGA bulls*** come from? I guess TFG just gave them permission to emerge from the swamps, and the "principled conservatives" of the past swiftly changed their tunes, leaving the conservatives with moral structure isolated and hated. And where do we go from here?
