Doctors look for symptoms and try to prevent rather than cure. When you have a presidential candidate using gutter language, sounding like the most illiterate members of society, you’ve had you4 warning folks! There’s your symptom!
It all began as a joke pre-2016, with stuff like “crooked Hillary” and people laughed. It’s gone downhill from there and we’re now into ”vermin” territory. Language you expect from despots and language we’ve heard from awful dictators during awful eras of the past. Half of Americans find themselves in a helpless situation and every election cycle has now become such a worry!
