Oh they think they want Trump back, but he’s just the Duce del giorno for them. It’s the superficial want. What they really want is to sit in their little web of resentment, use it like a blanket to keep themselves warm, and revel in the misery of those who dare think themselves equal or even better than them.
But they don’t want Trump back so badly that they want to be martyrs for the cause. They want to feel good, to feel righteous, something different from truly believing in a cause.
This is why Tim Walz’ message of joy is so refreshing. So exhilarating. Unlike Hillary, whose campaign seemed to be how she deserved it, Kamala and Tim managed to reawaken the thrill, the simple happiness.
