It must be obvious to any of us that the MAGA appeal is to glorify a world that never was. Nor should it have been.

This imagined world is free from legal constraints. Free from accountability. Free from the traditions of precedent. Free from the principles of decency. Free from credibility. Free from integrity. Freedom from the collegiality among nations – from keeping your word and commitments. Freedom to scoff at universal commandments such as “Thou shalt not kill,” Freedom to violate the status and rights of people as citizens, as refugees, even as accused defendants.

This is a product of the mind of a disturbed child. It is not the mind of a grownup. It is the mind of a “daddy killer.” I have no idea what it was to be the child of Fred Trump. I have no sense at all of his mother or what Donald’s relationship to her was. Whatever the details of his childhood, it is clear Donald did not survive his childhood intact. He is not a competent adult. He has no capacity for compassion, accountability, responsibility. Those are basic prerequisites of citizenship. They are minimum expectations of elected officials.

People who support the agenda, values and actions of Donald Trump are no more adult than he is. They are not fit to serve in our government. They are not fit to vote.

It is time to vote for grownups.
