A while back, some anonymous troll on X attempted to “roast” me for writing on January 7, 2021 that “Donald Trump has every right to be bitter and resentful.” He lifted a screenshot with those words from this piece and argued that, therefore, “your opinion has no value.” It’s a peculiar person indeed who distills this single sentence from a 1,200-word article absolutely scathing Trump for his actions the day before. Bad actors will never cease cherry-picking their way through our writings.
