Commentary | Trump’s CNN town hall is rigged – By Chauncey Devega (Salon) / May 10, 2023
In a healthy society, we would all turn away in protest
“May you live in interesting times.” Those words are not a blessing, they are a curse.
The Trumpocene and this fascist fever dream most certainly qualify as those “interesting times.” Trump and his MAGA movement have cursed the American people and their country by empowering even more racism, white supremacy, bigotry, hatred, death, suffering, sickness, violence, fascism, authoritarianism, conspiracism, greed, anti-intellectualism, misery, loneliness, religious fanaticism, collective unwellness and pathology and other great troubles and problems. Of course, Trump’s MAGA cultists believe such a horrible state of affairs is a type of blessing.
Are we closer to the end of this fascist nightmare than we were before? I doubt it. A new Washington Post/ABC poll shows President Joe Biden lagging behind Donald Trump.
Whatever the outcome, escape or remaining lost and in limbo, stuck in an interregnum, on Tuesday the traitor former ex-president Donald Trump added one more “distinction” to his ignominious list of “accomplishments” and “firsts.” Trump was the first president to attempt a coup to end American democracy. He was the first former president to be arrested and charged with a felony. Now he is the first president to be deemed liable by a jury in civil court for committing acts of sexual abuse and defamation.
