“One of the things I noticed about the Trump supporters was a lot of projected fear. I can't tell you how many times a conversation went like this: "We've got to stop these immigrants, because it's terrible." I'd say, "Okay, what personally have you observed about this?"

But they would always say, "Well, I get my information from all kinds of sources."

“During the terrible years of the Yekhov terror I spent seventeen months in the prison queues in Leningrad. One day someone ‘identified’ me. Then a woman with lips blue with cold who was standing behind me, and of course had never heard of my name, came out of the numbness which affected us all and whispered in my ear—(we all spoke in whispers there): ‘Could you describe this?’ I said, ‘I can!’ Then something resembling a smile slipped over what had once been her face.” YearsSaidI CanFacesCoursesNamesBehindsHeardMonthsColdTerribleOne DayStandingEarsBluePrisonLipsTerrorSpokesAffectedSeventeenNumbnessQueuesLeningrad Author:Anna Akhmatova
