Hate Fair 0

The San Francisco Chronicle’s Soleil Ho visited her family in rural Illinois and accompanied them to the local state fair and found herself surrounded with persons bearing Trump paraphernalia. She found the experience somewhat–er–disconcerting. Here’s a bit from her article (emphasis added):

Walk around a place like that Illinois county fair and you’ll see that MAGA comes off like an addiction — an obsession that seems much more emotional than rational. It’s the mean-spirited aspect of America, one that looks upon people like my refugee family as a lesser-than group, even if we might be tolerated individually. It’s heartbreaking to be around, knowing that there’s little logic or data that can dislodge a thorn that’s been absorbed so thoroughly.
