I’ve thanked you already for linking the article, and I want to say more that won’t disappear in a “Continue reading” tab.

What a brilliant article David Frum has written. Says everything I’ve been thinking all day - except the part about every decent person being relieved Trump didn’t die, although maybe that just means I’m not a decent person, and in this case I’m ok with that. The fact is that Trump brought this on himself, and as he has sown he is now reaping. I don’t know anything about the person behind him who was killed, but I can’t help wondering what he was doing there. If he wasn’t Secret Service then he had to have known about Trump’s dehumanisation of people he didn’t like, and his glorification of violence, and been ok with it. He may have left behind a family who had nothing to do with MAGA, and I’m sorry for them, but I’m not going to spend huge amounts of time otherwise sending thoughts and prayers to people who won’t do anything except spit on them from the likes of me.

Maybe this has sealed Trump’s victory. If so, JVL is right - it’s what America actively wants. God help us.
