“What made the spectacle in the Oval Office on Friday so haunting is that it seemed to confirm, dramatically and before all the world, the triumph of that darker, lower American spirit over its opposite at this juncture of history. And not only because of one man, if we are honest. It is a triumph that feels weighty, that feels earned.
President Trump has always been a mix of alien invader and emanation of the collective American being, and here, again, the “This is not who we are” fantasy continues to ring more and more hollow. This is very, very much who we are, now.”
very well-stated🔥🔥🔥
