15. Cognitive dissonance is a painful condition

which is why Obama sent so many otherwise sensibly apolitical white people into the grabby hands of TFG.

Obama was intelligent, educated, urbane. Every white guy they knew was, er, not so much. Of course they fell for Obama's exact opposite in their sloppy way of thinking.

The funny thing is that if Obama hadn't been tacky enough to be born with brown skin, they'd have loved him. Instead, he knocked white men off the pedestals they'd never really earned. That was a disaster to a lot of people.

I just hope our boring and capable old white man can topple their lunatic, Russian asset old white man once again, sending him off to face his lawsuits, criminal charges, and ultimate obscurity as the country tries to get its equilibrium back.

One part of that process is persuading people it's OK to come back from the far fringes while pushing men like Bannon and Stone out there where they belong. The former will be a slow process, while the latter has been largely accomplished.

I don't know what will happen with all the legal woes heaped on TFG and his staff, having the charges filed at all was the important part of this process. The hard work has been done, the worst president in history has been charged.

I do hope the GOP primary fight is as nasty as it can get and leads to fistfights on the convention floor.
