THIRD NIGHT OF THE REPUBLICAN CONVENTION

Another night of mostly prerecorded messages from "regular" folks telling poignant personal stories in praise of 45 (with again several "black and brown" folks) and speeches full of distortions and lies to make the reality of 45 and his policies palatable to the swing voters and "white suburban women" so they'll feel little enough guilt to vote for him. But the lies, especially in V.P. Pence's speech, added to the sense that The Dear Leader is the supreme and superior human and Biden/Harris are the devil's minions. If you buy the lies as truth, it reassured and I'm sure inspired you, if you see through the lies, it fell flat. Obvious, but nonetheless the dilemma.
