GOP Convention 2016: The Wrap-Up

There was so much insanity in Trump’s speech my brain started to shut down. But just off the top of my head — he vowed to erase the separation of church and state, reiterated his position that NATO allies will have to pay up or they’re on their own against Russia, and said he’ll “protect LGBTQ citizens from a hateful foreign ideology” — right after several speakers from fanatically anti-gay religious groups, like Tony Perkins and Jerry Falwell Jr.

It was probably the most jingoistic, nativist speech by a presidential candidate in at least the last hundred years.

And one of the most telling moments, revealing the true authoritarian appeal of this short-fingered fascist:

If this horrible display of right wing recidivism accomplishes anything, I hope it will be to motivate every liberal who witnessed it to get out and vote in November. This contest is deadly serious. Trump must be defeated.
