Church ... family ... police ... military ... the national anthem ... Trump trying to call on all the tropes of 1950s-era nationalism. The goal of this speech appears to be to force the normalization of Trump on the terms of the bygone era his supporters are nostalgic for. #SOTU

And as for the military, Trump’s seeming eagerness to flirt with war with North Korea can’t be heartening. Trump is putting on a show; allowing his base to reminisce about an Ozzie and Harriet past they don’t even really value anymore based on their support for his “values.”

He offers a promise to bring back the past, but no vision for the future. And strangely, his version of “family values” excludes the families of immigrants.

Bottom line: the first half of Trump’s
#SOTU speech was pure pabulum: GOP family values boilerplate that the party traded in for demographic rage and reality show vulgarity by backing him. The second half was the dark matter Trumpism actually represents:Show this thread -
Anti-immigrant, backward looking, anti-innovation, and anti-progress. And of course his base loved every minute of it.

FUN FACT There have not been any players kneeling the entire NFL playoffs. The right to choose and the right to protest seems to be forgotten on all this.

Just think of how many more NFL players would be kneeling if they were to oppose black on black gang banging murders. There would be no one standing and Joy would be silent. Mum. Cricket.

Clinton was impeached but not convicted. That is not a double standard. He was held accountable and found not to be deserving of removal. We don't excuse wrongdoing. If you believe sexual misconduct is wrong, let's impeach Trump and see how he fares evidence is produced.
