While there’s much that could be said about Trump’s Nuremburg Rally last night, life is too short to waste time on a speech that won’t do much (like most State of the Union addresses). But there are two things that sorry spectacle* revealed about professional Republicans.
First, they hate their Democratic coworkers. When Trump pointed at Democrats and said Democrats are “crazy… We’re lucky we have a country, with people like this. Democrats are destroying our country, but we stopped it, just in the nick of time”, Republicans went wild with glee. They were behaving like it was the pregame for a pogrom. This is who they really are, and this is what they really think.
Second, it’s still not clear to me if Democrats comprehend the Republican hatred. The superficial acts of civility by their Republican coworkers are a mask over the hatred Republicans have for Democrats, including their supposed ‘colleagues.’ While a willingness to pretend otherwise is humiliating for professional Democrats, it’s dangerous for the rest of us.
The State of the Union sucks right now, with the only bright spot being that the piggish men’s hockey team had to listen to that asshole experience diarrhea of the mouth for two hours, while the women’s hockey team will get to party in Vegas with Flava Flav.
*If professional Democrats were capable of self-respect (too many are not), were they to take back the House, they should refuse to invite him because he was a piggish guest. Make him send a letter.
