Cassie Craven: We Want Our Country Back
Craven is a right wing lawyer out of Cheyenne and is picking up her news from media.
It's interesting to note how this can work. During the Second World War, very informed Germans who wanted to know what was going on clandestinely listened to the BBC, while many others listened to or read the German news. Listening to the BBC was illegal. Anyhow, many were shocked after January 1945 to find that, in spite of all the evidence that was before their eyes, they were losing the war, and in fact were going to lose it.
This is going on in our society now, although its obviously not illegal to listen to the BBC. About half the country is absolutely horrified by what's going on, but there's a percentage, let's say 25% to 33% that fully accepts what Trump is saying.
Is Portland a war zone? Absolutely not. Is it left of center? Yes, it has been for decades. Is there any problem at all?
Yes, homeless on the streets, like in LA, or in Denver, or Oklahoma City, or even to a small degree like Casper. That's a universal American problem.
It doesn't call for the deployment of troops.
This will end badly.
But Craven's "we want our country back" is actually what she means, and many who support Trump mean. The thing is, however, that the country she wants back, never existed.
