Robert ReichDonald Trump spent 90 minutes tonight spewing lies, vitriol, and hate.

As a philosophy nerd I thought it was cool that your excellent description is almost exactly how Bertrand Russell described #Marx,
> like Tertullian and Carlyle, his chief desire was to see his enemies punished, and he cared little what happened to his friends in the process.
I think the Tertullian-Carlyle-Marx-Trump rule is that if someone is trying to gather support by whipping up an angry crowd, then we should assume their interests are not the crowd's interests.
