Quite the opposite. Trump has convinced long time progressives like me to abandon the world of Clinton, Obama and Hollywood for the people who really serve America. After contributing three times, I abandoned the fascist-like campaign of Sanders when I realized his speeches were not much more than rehashed failed socialism, and also after Hillary Clinton would not respond to the "Uranium One" article right here in the Times. I'm sure you regret ever printing that story.
I am far more at home in a tea party full of American flags and Bibles than an erstwhile assembly of undocumented immigrant protesters who believe they have more rights than the families of slain soldiers.
When I heard that Florida congressperson speak about John Kelly today, I was as stunned as I ever was at any Vietnam protest of any civil rights rally in the 60s. This woman is an embarrassment to the country, and wholly unrepresentative of the feelings of the vast majority of African Americans.
If you think that a confused millennial who shows up to protest something about Trump is any indication of change, try checking with the FORMER progressives of this land. There are many millions of us, and you will see us at the polls next year, many of whom will be first time registrants who are finally rid of ignoring the sick progressive decadence of America.
