I have been a volunteer at the Carbon County Democratic booth for all kinds of events. Fairs, festivals, musical events, some large, some tiny. In all that time I have never worked one where at least one person didn’t come up and say something mean, stupid, or insulting. Until today.
Ukrainians, like Vietnamese or Cuban immigrants, had a low opinion of Democrats. No more. They have noted Trump’s behavior, read Vance’s insults, saw how Marjorie Taylor Greene backs Russia, saw Trump’s craven actions yesterday in Alaska.
I have never felt such a warm embrace as today. And I don’t know if I ever felt such sadness about my country’s policies. We have become “surrender monkeys.” We have become Munich Lite. We have become a country with no principles whatsoever.
