The Gentle Witch of the North
That sinking, depressed feeling came back last night. That same bewildered, angry, confused, "Do people really believe all
this" horror that can only be provoked by one thing: a Republican National Convention. And now, the morning after
the speech, as we bounce around the echo chamber trying to figure out if, in fact, people really do buy this stage-managed jingoism, we get sadder and sadder. But then we read thoughtful analysis like
this, and
this, and we have hope again! Holy shit it's going to be a long, emotionally excoriating two months.
