The Republicans are out of step with the times and the Democrats are out of touch with the people.
Watching Novak Djokovic win Wimbledon on Sunday I thought of the Serbian waiter who served us on Las Olas a few weeks back. Hania had asked him about the situation in Serbia and he had launched into a tirade against president Aleksandar Vucic and his megalomania.
“After the French Open,” the waiter said, “the headline in the newspaper was not: ‘Djokovic Wins the French Open,’ it was ‘Vucic Congratulates Djokovic on Winning the French Open.’”
When Trump won the election in 2016 I thought: He’ll always be able to say he was President of the United States. But I knew there was a strong possibility that this distinction would be upended by the ignominy of having been the worst. And so it came to pass.
"You have a bunch of crazy people following one crazy person - the president of the United States." - Terry Sullivan, on CBS This Morning.
I still feel an urge to go up to people in the neighborhood who have/had Trump signs and congratulate them on their candidate's win.
