I am still searching for the reason why well-educated, intelligent, and well-off Americans with seemingly good moral character continue to support an obviously immature, narcissistic sociopath. Is it really just lower taxes and racism? Opposition to abortion? Some kind of hidden, irrational fear of socialism, Antifa, diversity? Are they acting out their evangelical fantasies? I honestly do not recognize these people anymore, they've become zombified by a virus.

Like all of Bernie Sanders' supporters, I watched with shock and horror as Bernie was being marginalized by the media during his run for President. Even news anchors like Rachel Maddow and those of NPR were doing it; Rachel made no bones about her support for Hillary Clinton. I was appalled then and still am because Bernie's message, which he repeated over and over, was so important - that the 1% had more wealth than the 99% - and that billionaires were buying political offices. He was the only one called for a living wage and for an end to laws and practices that have led us to this horrific economic imbalance. As soon as it became clear to the powers that be that Bernie's message was gaining traction, that he was becoming very popular, they worked their magic through the media to marginalize him. That was when I stopped watching CNN, NPR, MSNBC. I lost all trust in these so-called news organizations. They have become propaganda outlets. And our country has suffered the consequences.
