Ghouls

When Gus Walz had his spontaneous show of emotion as his father spoke on stage of his love for his children, some ghouls on the right got their knives out. The insults about the young man, who has some neurological issues, began to fly on social media. Some of them were cruel to a point that made you question the basic humanity of the author.

If this is the way Trumpism has its swan song, it will be a fitting one for it perfectly encapsulates the movement as "cruelty is the point" to which I would only add massive stupidity as a footnote. Trump is a disgraceful excuse for a human being who 40% of the country might yet still vote for, but there are thankfully more people with grace and dignity who will not.

His followers will not disappear but at least they will be more relegated to the darker corners of the internet once their imbecilic mouthpiece slowly fades into the dust bin of history.
