Great article as ever! Ironic how Trump doesn't actually attend church, covets money above all else, and cheated on all three of his wives, etc etc.. Oh, and he's a pedo. How on earth can his supporters justify this? They must think God is an idiot. Is this just a national mental health crisis parading as patriotism? So many questions. It's tough to watch America eat itself, but you're doing a fine job of documenting it Gavin! Stay safe.

Cheers! The mystery of why he has the cult like support he does is what makes it such a compelling subject. I think the idea of a mass mental health crisis underneath the "patriotism" is actually on to something. The popularity of "populist" movements throughout the west is the sign of something badly gone wrong.

I can't believe that is really a word — semiquincentennial. I was so hoping you invented it.

You're gonna make me look this word up, semiquincentennial. I see the German influence in this word. Your sarcasm is right up my alley and your brutally honest photos are too. I think you're OK with America 3.0 because it's something almost surreal. But honestly, is everyone just riding the wave and just waiting for it to break? What are 'normal ' Americans doing in the meantime? Say hi to Philly for me.
