It's nighttime in Donald Trump's America.
...
On Tuesday afternoon, outlined against a brilliant blue, gray October sky, the horseman of our American apocalypse will arrive here in Philadelphia, and spin the sunny side of his administration to a big room packed with electrical contractors. The 45th president will no doubt tout his trade wars and promise his audience that a tax cut that largely targeted large corporations and billionaires will trickle its way down to their small businesses, hopefully before anyone notices that the federal coffers are being drained dry to pay for this bait-and-switch.
And then the sirens of the long motorcade will blare, the red-and-blue lights will pulsate — and night will once again descend on Donald Trump's America. And the children of darkness will lie awake in their beds, listening with unspeakable anxiety for the rumble of a bus, or the whoosh of a Saudi jet fighter fresh off the Lockheed Martin assembly line, or the news flash that there has been another shooting in another classroom. And they will pray that the words of an ancient theologian were right — that it really is darkest before the dawn.

My feelings and my prayers that we will see the dawn, like the fighters in Helm’s Deep.
