Much is made of where Ronald Reagan launched his presidential campaign — the site of an infamous lynching. There he talked the game of federalism, a thing everyone agrees with but then gets exposed as a as a tactic as that which is federated is pursued nationally, and which here gets smoked into historic ugliness of upholding segregation. Be that as it may, he aimed at symbolism or just danced with the devil.

It occurs to me that in the talk of where Donald Trump has blasted his latest frothed message — come the retribution! — No one is backing up on just where he is speaking it. Waco, Texas. Sometimes it must be painful to be a place-mat of history.
