The DNC was one long, cathartic therapy session. A chance to unload, let it all hang out.
Some will disagree, but Donald Trump has paved the way for this bearing of souls by simply being who he is, by merely opening his mouth day after day and spewing hate and stupidity, never knowing when or how to stop, and believing that he actually had a place in the national conversation. He was due a sustained piling on.
It seems, at least from what happened at the convention, that America has had more than enough of Trump’s insistence on looking at the half-empty glass, enough of the caricatured dark pall he insists on casting. The steady stream of speakers did their job of articulating a different path, many making sure we were reminded that the source of our discomfort is Donald Trump and a deeply troubled and conflicted Republican party.
We don’t need what they’re trying to sell.
