The Democratic Party finds itself in a horror movie, a nightmarish tale where they are being devoured by The Orange Monster. That was abundantly clear during Donald Trump’s speech to both chambers of Congress.
It’s often observed that Trump has broken the brains of many Democrats. It now seems like he has also broken their souls and spirits. We don’t mean ‘soul’ in the divine or eschatological sense. It’s the soul of their humanity that’s been stripped away, and that was on full display Tuesday night.
