Here is Peggy Noonan writing. She often sounds like this…
Wait, who is Peggy Noonan, and why should I care what she thinks?
She is a presidential speechwriter and has been doing this for a long time. The lady came up with immortal phrases like “New World Order” and “A thousand points of light”. She often has the nation’s (?!) pulse.
So again, here is what she writes:
More seriously—most seriously—deep down a lot of hard-core Trump supporters, and many not so hard-core, think it’s all over. They love America truly and deeply but think the glue that held us together is gone. Religion and Main Street are shrinking into the past, and in the Rite Aid everything’s locked up. School shootings, mass shootings, nobody’s safe, men in the girls’ locker room, race obsessions, a national debt we’ll never control. China, Russia, nukes and cooked-up plagues. If they decide to do a mass cyberattack and take out our electricity for six months we’ll never get through it. Once we would.
I am always struck by how many jolly, kind, cheerful, constructive Americans hold this sense of impending doom in their hearts and go cheerfully through each day anyway.
But they figure if we’re at the end times, he’s the perfect end-times president, a guy who goes boom.
Read the rest here…
She said the same in the past. It hasn’t gotten better.
Noo Noo.
