This image rich with many-layered symbolism is from Donald Trump's rally today in Pennsylvania, where he's speaking in front of, yes, a wall of garbage. P.S. Look how tiny that hand is.

This is what Donald Trump has set loose in the right wing; after decades of (barely) keeping the racism under wraps, it's now all out in your face again. Tennessee white supremacist candidate Rick Tyler wants America to be like a 1960s TV show. It's not clear what he thinks ought ...
