Citizen complaint of the day: Supporter of supposed law-and-order candidate breaks the law in South Boston

and the latter pays a 'fine' and happened to get it all done a lot cheaper. Clearly you are not familiar with how development works in this town.

I could be wrong about this, but I think the point of the previous comment was that Trump was drawing support from the mainstream, i.e., people who aren't completely crazy. While he has in the past drawn support from people who selectively blinded themselves to the obvious implications, I think that's increasingly not true. His current adherents are unapologetic white supremacists, dominionist Christians, and authoritarians. And yes, a lot of people learned how well the dogs will jump when you blow certain whistles - but they were able to function because of the corruption of institutions (perhaps most notably the police) and because of legal ambiguities and loopholes. The ousting of Trump will provide, at a minimum, the opportunity to change that. So yes, if we sit here on our dumb asses moaning about it and don't actually do anything with that opportunity, I'm sure there are enough toxic, unscrupulous barbarians to try it again. But I disagree that it's a given.
