I remember when an incumbent presidential candidate looked at his watch during a debate as if he wanted to get it over with, and it cost him big-time votes. But now we live on a different planet.
These days, bump-stock lying, two impeachments, overt obstruction of justice, conviction in civil court for sexual assault, being charged with 91 felonies, and making treasonous efforts to overturn a fair election don’t seem to be enough for millions of Americans to see through the biggest and most transparent con in our history.
Donald Trump’s political brand runs on spite, and if it wins in November, the glee of winning will sour as the devolution and vile destruction of American institutions will soon trump the MAGA elation. Pun intended.
