"This Trump-led effort to do nothing less than remake America as a totalitarian nation was not created overnight; it was the culmination of years (decades even) of steady effort, not just from the rich and powerful but also from many people who aren’t famous or wealthy or even particularly influential but have pushed for the dominance of their own gender or religion or race, and for the subjugation of others."
