Good! I love Olear's work, not just the substance but the way he writes. His commentary today makes one wonder, yet again, how can a person as flawed as Trump still hold so much sway. The kicker ending:

"For this monster—this bully and brat, this racist and rapist, this mob money launderer and tax cheat, this thrice married philanderer, this sadistic strongman who allowed a plague to take hold because he thought all that death would help him, this sore loser who attacked our democracy and did everything in his power to overturn the election, this dismal, disgraceful, deplorable failure of a human being—a quarter of the country, and maybe more, are willing to do almost anything, including kill and be killed.

"This is the real Donald John Trump."
