I have been reading again the Harry Potter series, which I am increasingly convinced may be the best series of books written since the Bible. In the wizarding world there are three unforgivable curses, for which a wizard will go to Azkaban: the Imperius curse, in which one controls another person; the Cruciatus curse, in which one causes another person unspeakable pain; and finally the Killing curse (Avada Kedavra), in which one kills another.
I am starting to wonder whether our country is living within this wizarding world and whether or not Voldemort has taken over. Consider: the people who are excited about either candidate, Trump especially, must be under the Imperius curse...is there any other explanation for the behavior that people have in supporting these candidates? Their actions and the actions of the candidates is casting upon the rest of us the Cruciatus curse...it's really painful to watch; we are all scarred by what is happening. And if Trump should happen to win, dare we say that we will all be under the Killing curse? I really fear that if Trump wins this country will be irrevocably broken, and if he loses his supporters will soon break it. Death to America seems to no longer be the chant of Muslim extremists.
Fortunately those books and those curses are not real, are they? Yet right now they certainly feel real.
