The Republican National Convention had an assessment of America Tuesday night, and the assessment was that America is a dark place.
It’s a stormy, crime-ridden metropolis plagued with exploding cars, angry mobs of protesters and migrants flooding the border. Luckily, there’s a hero who can save the country, summoned like Batman with a rooftop searchlight that illuminates the clouds with one word: “Trump.”
At least, that’s how the CGI sizzle reel presented the situation in Milwaukee Tuesday night.
