@benroyce @Harrybear @GottaLaff @SherBeareth @rabbijill @bkahn @punkhaiku Surely you never thought of "your fellow American" as being just one sort of person? We were never a melting pot, but a patchwork, a kludge. So my fellow American has always been people I admire and people I loathe. My fellow Americans created the 3/5ths compromise. How could I ever idealize that?
No, there's really nothing new or surprising in these election results.
