1. That was superbly creative...

what a great way to open the convention.

2. That's a united United States of America, not torn,...

... apart, shit on, divided, decimated, and degraded like Mango Mussolini does it.

3. This is our Present. This is our Future.

We have to fight NOW to give them their opportunity.

5. Great job.

I hate our anthem. Hate it. But what these kids did with it is amazing!!!!

Our daughter's university tried to do this at her virtual graduation in May, with a different song (Dolly Parton's Light of a Clear Blue Morning, one of my favorites). It was OK, but they didn't really pull it off very well. This is extremely hard to do, so no criticism here. I have no idea how this group of kids did it, but they must have had some superb direction. Somehow. I'm just in awe. Wow.

6. This brought a tear each of the 4 times I watched it.

Exquisitely done!
