I must have my head in the sand because this is the first I've heard of the "launch." My takeaway is that we are treating schizophrenics by either incarcerating them or installing them in the White House when we should be providing them mental health care.
The word that came to my mind when I first saw the video was ‘launch’! Unbelievable.
I like how you compared this incident to the state of our country today. My wish for the new year is that we (as in citizens of the U.S.) can venture out of our silos and see the humanity in each other. I’m speaking “politically” now - my parents never knew the political leanings of their neighbors, and they didn’t look on the “other side” as evil, if they did know. I curse the 24 hour news cycle we all live in now. It’s not healthy. That said, I do pray for the country and our future.
The article went in a different direction to my expectations. As a non-American who lived in the States (D C. area) for a few years, it's inexplicable to me what has happened to your country. The people I met were polite, politically savvy, keen to do the right thing by everyone - or so it seemed at the time.
We are, indeed, cray-cray! I loved this one, Andrew!
Yep, we cray-cray y'all!!!!

Very interesting breakdown of this viral event Andrew. Well written as always.

On the other hand, in 1989, the damn Berlin Wall came down. Came down. After all that, they just said, okay, we're done. Humans. Go figure.
A poignant analogy, Andrew. It's worrisome that so many of our citizens refuse to see the truth and the impending danger posed by a Trump victory.
