Condemning Trumpism
Former President George W. Bush verbally assaulted Trumpism in a speech over the weekend. Bush rejected politics of anger and hate that has divided the country. He never once mentioned Trump's name. He didn't have to. The context was clear and Trump immediately fired back at Bush. The speech commemorating 9/11 victims outlined a nation that came together and helped one another after the towers fell. It was a time of unity that didn't last as cultural and economic divisions took over and were fanned into rage by former President Trump. The speech reminded the public that a flickering, dying light of reasonableness remains in the Republican Party and could return again once craven GOP politicians stop genuflecting before Trump. Bush is in the wilderness of his party now and will remain there for who knows how long. But, the sooner we return to a united America, the better it will be.
