The final night of the Republican convention featured Trump’s first public speech since a gunman tried to assassinate him on Saturday, and saw extensive exaltation of the nominee from speakers who implied, and sometimes outright declared, that he was saved by, and chosen by, God himself.

Make it stop. Please just make it stop. It’s like some sort of MAGA-MANGA comic book come to life, with comically unfunny and overly dramatic characters somehow rising up and crawling out of the inky pages. Hulk Hogan, Tucker Carlson, Kid Rock? These are your heroes?
