The 2024 Democratic National Convention was, by most ways you could look at it, a shockingly spectacular success, even if Beyonce’ and Taylor Swift didn’t show (and, really, they’d have been in the way). The absolute exuberance on display made it plain that President Joe Biden’s decision to step aside and not seek reelection had unclenched the anxiety-puckered anuses of the Democrats, and that let them be able to cut loose, open one extra button on the shirt, loosen the belt, and have a great fucking time. The process of anointing Vice President Kamala Harris and Governor Tim Walz as the Democratic ticket was masterfully conceived and executed, and its purpose was clear: You wanna really make America great again? Kick Trump and his MAGA motherfuckers into the shitcan of history.
To put it another way, the message was “Don’t you want the crazy shit over with? Don’t you just wanna go back to normal?” And that’s a damn fine message
