One of our two political parties has decided that its politics is existential, that it is a battlefield where being “right” conveys absolute power given by God. Winning in this kind of politics means the rule of law can be superseded by force.
He knows that we know he is in decline and is scared shitless of coming apart at the seams during a Q&A over which he has less control than he does at his own rallies.
The horrors of this man and what he has said and done over the last nine years are impossible to comprehend. Where do you start? The overturn of Roe v Wade? His racism, misogyny and hatreds? His blatant criminality? The list goes on.
