Adding a screenshot of a censored Trump here. Something symbolic there. He was elected as the voice of a broad sentiment, turned that voice into a narcissistic self-aggrandizing 24-7 party. Now he’s been muzzled. I expect many who support him will feel personally silenced.pic.twitter.com/CpSeN9ytgV
Pair with spotlight on Stacey Abrams who worked to actually give a voice to vast numbers of people instead of merely exploiting their frustrationshttps://twitter.com/thewomensorg/status/1324653254450569218?s=21 …
Subplot. If this keeps up they’ll be demanding a recount of the vote in Canada.pic.twitter.com/7SWssSgJLn
Has it ever happened that a victory speech has been delivered before a concession? Even in 2000 Al Gore conceded before retracting the concession iirc, right?
I guess this sort of thing is to be expected for a while. I personally find zero joy in this sort of thing tbh.https://twitter.com/harikunzru/status/1325129548325933056?s=20 …
He didn’t have the biggest inauguration crowd but he’s definitely getting the biggest exit crowd. I wouldn’t join such crowds even without Covid but it’s interestinghttps://twitter.com/adamparkhomenko/status/1325181781386031105?s=21 …
Biden speech about to begin. Here’s a placeholder concession speech.https://twitter.com/WalterIsaacson/status/1325064782806913024 …
He speaks much more clearly and confidentially when he’s on a relaxed winning curve and his fumbles and slight stutters show up under stress. That’s one thing he shares with Trump... he does not know how to disguise his real emotions. He just has a healthier range of them.pic.twitter.com/ZN0vNMU7f0
A splendidly mediocre speech by an optimally average speaker. Exactly what I was hoping for. He was steadily energetic and moved on stage. That physical energy and mood I think were well played counterpoints both to Trump’s physical demeanor and his sleepy-Joe line.
Well, that’s all folks. We end this thread here. Follow this other thread for the excruciating analysis and lessons learned.https://twitter.com/vgr/status/1324124260382568454 …
