Donald Trump was just an entertaining buffoon to watch.

It's an interesting place to begin where the country is completely divided into choosing sides, when the only side everyone should be choosing is the side of America, and then politicians essentially should be arguing about the best way to serve America.

In an American context, let's say gay rights or marriage policy - that's a progressive thing. I understand that in an American context.

I don't even remember hearing about [Immorality Act of 1927]. I just knew about it. I was born into it, so I don't remember my parents ever saying it to me. I don't remember a conversation ever being had around this. I just knew this to be the law because that's what I was growing up in during that time in South Africa.

At the same time, you had Barack Obama as a president. You had Hillary Clinton on track, all the Democrats looking good. And, you know, Donald Trump was just an entertaining buffoon to watch.

And, slowly, I think, even as a show, we started shifting in tone as the election started shifting.

People were encouraged to snitch. [South Africa] was a police state, so there were police everywhere. There were undercover police. There were uniformed police. The state was being surveilled the entire time.

My mother's always looking for answers. She's always searching for new information. I think she has a thirst for hunger that very few possess innately.
