The last eight or so weeks in the United States have been a whirlwind, one that is both frightening and exhilarating. In so many ways the American people have been on an amusement park ride that is being controlled by a sadistic madman.
This is especially so for the country’s news media and responsible political class. These weeks from President Biden being demolished by Donald Trump at their first and only debate, to an assassination attempt on Trump’s life and then his coronation as a fascist god-king at the Republican National Convention (in less than a week’s time), President Biden stepping aside and handing the torch to Vice President Kamala Harris and her ascent at this week’s DNC in Chicago where she formally became the party’s presidential nominee, and now being tied with or ahead of Donald Trump in the polls has been one of the most eventful in modern American history.
