(3,676 posts)41. Thank you for watching that horrible video so I don't have to.
For the first two-thirds of his speech, Trump's delivery was more focused than any presentation he has made since 2016. He was concentrating on his target more intensely than at any time since he was recorded on the Access Hollywood tape. He was sowing the seeds for the continuation of the war against the United States that I had hoped had shot its wad on the January 6 insurrection.
This is pretty much what I was afraid of.
He's had some rest. There isn't anything he likes better that listening to himself speak. So he's 100% back on Nazi message.
I watched a bit of an interview with Mary Trump. She said,
I hear people say that Republicans are afraid of Donald no theyre not. They ARE him, says @MaryLTrump. They are sticking with the guy who gives them permission to be their worst selves.
Goddammit some of those who are enjoying being their worst selves are my siblings. They're not the least bit chastened by 45's losses. They still back him 100%. They still think Antifa are responsible for January 6. One sister threatens to move to Ireland and I wish she would. Poor Ireland though . . .
Hate to say this about my own siblings but the country is better off without them. They are making a lot of work for the grass roots movement! Bastards.
Anyway thanks for the great (as usual) essay brother. And for Chrissakes go to the doctor.
