Imagine if the Democratic Party had a feisty, sassy black lady candidate who wins every debate by making the crowd roar in her favor. The entrenched Republican Party throws as many legal cases at her as possible. She’s impeached twice. Her fortune is slowly stripped from her. Her name is consistently disparaged throughout the world. Shes regularly considered the most divisive figure on Earth. She’s nearly assassinated by a gunman twice. And yet she still comes back with so much firepower than she is able to force a sitting president out of re-election.

This is how the democrats see Trump. He may be the only one to have ever done it so well (Caesar withstanding)

Refreshing take. It took him 78 years to finally be someone zoomers can find inspirational. Anti establishment is the zeitgeist, and he fits the bill.

That you write this well in long form doesn't surprise me, your notes are pinpoint sharp. My only regrets is not reading this sooner and my aim is to read your longer form posts. A beautiful mind you have there, would not be a shame if we saw more of it in a literary way.

You said, "his tone is more retrained".

Did you mean restrained?
