Trump as Messiah

Greg Sargent does a good job of summarizing the most Trumpolotrous moments of the convention, which seems from the coverage this morning to have been a festival of cultism. I was only able to watch about a minute and a half of it before I had to turn off the TV (the coffee shop lady who prayed to Jesus and got PPP from Trump, but who feared that Joe Biden would destroy all that she, he, and Jesus had worked for).I guess that's what it feels like for normal, everyday Americans, when forced to watch "radical liberal" shows like Anderson Cooper 360, see football players kneeling, or hear Anthony Fauci pouring cold water on Donald Trump's latest medical insight.
