The Flight 103 Presidency

The Flight 103 Presidency
When you've lost RedState... "No bitterness or anger can undo it. None of your frustration corrects it. No outrage drowns out his failure. Oh what a moment it would be if Trump had said some wonderfully eloquent and healing words, some ever-so-easy condemnation and rejection of the murder-minded would-be revolutionaries marching in his name, delivered powerfully and without equivocation. And that then the media, evil and nefarious, failed to give him credit and called him a racist anyway. What a perfect victory validating your entire worldview and all your grievances it would be. How glorious. Almost irresistible. And so you did not resist. You simply pretend that this is what happened. And starting right after a woman died, and carrying on through this morning, five days later, a significant and consequential portion of the right has been acting out Trump’s horrific presser on their timelines, begging “is George Washington next?” and screaming “both sides ARE guilty” and lying “he didn’t say they were fine people.” You pretend that your glorious moment occurred. Steve Bannon is pretending that, too. You are the persecuted, they are the tyranny of evil men."
