This is getting creepy

 Squirrel-Hair gets pegged with a lot of labels that he's not. He's not a Christian. He's not a racist. He's not a liberal.  Mostly, as I said the other day, he's the author of his own universe and the lone creature in it, with whom he is well pleased.

But I do think the "authoritarian" charge is valid big-time.

I'm an academically trained historian, and I don't recall an occurrence like this in the annals of election seasons:

At a campaign event in Florida, the Republican presidential candidate said: "Raise your right hand. I do solemnly swear that I — no matter how I feel, no matter what the conditions, if there's hurricanes or whatever — will vote, on or before the 12th for Donald J. Trump for president."

The really chilling part is that he probably got a yuuuuge show of hands.
