RNC's “Trump-a-mania run wild” backfires

Last week’s Republican National Convention in Milwaukee was a coronation for aspiring dictator and God King Donald Trump. It was truly a spectacle that combined the aspects of a rock concert, “Christian” evangelical megachurch service, crime family gathering, bazaar, Mos Eisley cantina from "Star Wars" and a professional wrestling supercard. In total, the Republican National Convention was a fascist monster’s ball.

Using the language and logic of boxing and MMA, the first few days of the Republican National Convention were the undercard where the speakers praised Donald Trump, a man they now fully believe to be some type of superman with divine status following the attempt on his life in Butler, Pennsylvania and the now iconic moment where he rose from the ground, pumped his fist in the air and said “Fight, fight, fight!” as his followers looked on in awe.
