My god -- when did Vance get a laminectomy (spine removal)? I hadn't read this in 2016. Every #media outlet should publish this. Good thing Trump doesn't read. Or maybe someone read this to him and he thought, how can I bring this person to their knees? Trump's drug of choice? #Fascism with a heaping side of abjection (see Romney, Cruz, Rubio et al).
"What Trump offers is an easy escape from the pain. To every complex problem, he promises a simple solution. ... He never offers details for how these plans will work, because he can’t. Trump’s promises are the needle in America’s collective vein." — J. D.
