Anthony Bourdain talks tRump and violence... [View all]

Anthony Bourdain often comes to my mind. Today I realized that his last apt was in the Time Warner bldg in NY (CNN address and pipe bomb recipient). He spoke often of tRump This is from an interview with him after the election...

"...But the threshold of acceptable rhetoric right now, the threshold of hate and animus that’s being shown at this point — this really naked hatred of every flavor, racists, sexists, pure misogyny, class hatred, hatred of the educated — this is something I’ve never seen before. And it’s now acceptable! It’s more acceptable in public at political rallies than it is at universities, which is where people should be saying offensive shit.
So what will get us past this?
Changing demographics. Other than that, it’s Bond villain shit. I’m pessimistic to the extreme. I really think people have no idea how bad it already is, and how bad it’s going to get. I read a lot of history. We’ve heard all of this before. I think it’s that bad. It can easily go that way."
