I would classify Anthem as Young Adult. I can’t recall if it was assigned in junior or senior high.

If you keep harping on Hillary’s deplorables speech without acknowledging her saying people should empathize with another basket of Trump voters as she saw them in 2016, you are a disingenuous twit. Lies of omission by you in that video!

![I know there are only 60 days left to make our case — and don’t get complacent, don’t see the latest outrageous, offensive, inappropriate comment and think well he’s done this time. We are living in a volatile political environment. You know, to just be grossly generalistic, you could put half of Trump’s supporters into what I call the basket of deplorables. Right?
[Laughter/applause]
The racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamaphobic — you name it. And unfortunately there are people like that. And he has lifted them up. He has given voice to their websites that used to only have 11,000 people — now how 11 million. He tweets and retweets their offensive hateful mean-spirited rhetoric. Now, some of those folks — they are irredeemable, but thankfully they are not America. But the other basket — and I know this because I see friends from all over America here — I see friends from Florida and Georgia and South Carolina and Texas — as well as, you know, New York and California — but that other basket of people are people who feel that the government has let them down, the economy has let them down, nobody cares about them, nobody worries about what happens to their lives and their futures, and they’re just desperate for change. It doesn’t really even matter where it comes from. They don’t buy everything he says, but he seems to hold out some hope that their lives will be different. They won’t wake up and see their jobs disappear, lose a kid to heroine, feel like they’re in a dead-end. Those are people we have to understand and empathize with as well.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:zmqdhp7wiag5ej2okm7zf7w5/bafkreidmvefuyd722araby2vos27ctcghu6drzdzyyyzspqkro3s54twxi@jpeg)

So you focused on the “USA, USA, USA” chants by the MAGA fashies. You are in lockstep with your oligarch leader. I used to say in response to your motto that Democracy Dies Behind Paywalls. Now democracy has all but died. And now your “Green has left the chamber” BS. That tracks with:

I liked Dark Knight, Inception, and Interstellar. I get confused with the Nolans. Are Person of Interest and Dunkirk relevant? Uncle John was in both. He freaked me out in his brief Dunkirk appearance. Still too soon after Person of Interest. Visceral response.

I’d rather get a root canal without anesthetic than witness that event. Of course FIRE and The Free Press would be involved. To top it off Bari Weiss is the moderator. Egads!

Now that the hurricane season has passed I can shift to worrying about storm fronts crossing the county. The payoff for stress is cooler weather.

Watching the NBA I note the variety of court color schemes sometimes makes me wonder if my HDTV is malfunctioning. My power went out on Christmas briefly. When it came back the Mavericks came had started. I thought the outage did something to my TV…
