QOTD: Hunter S. Thompson
by digby
This is actually part of a must read post by Ed Kilgore:
For the next two hours I was locked in a friendly, free-wheeling conversation with about six of my hosts who didn’t mind telling me that they were there because George Wallace was the most important man in America. “This guy is the real thing,” one of them said. “I never cared anything about politics before, but Wallace ain’t the same as the others. He don’t sneak around the bush. He just comes right out and says it.”
I’m sure it’s just a coincidence that the racist Wallace voter sounds exactly like a Trump voter. Because we know Trump’s appeal is really all about economics. Still, it’s interesting.
