imagine going back to 2005 and telling someone that Donald Trump and Rudy Giuliani are the heroes of Red State America, they’d ask you if they can try some of those awesome cyber drugs you must be on
In 2005, Giuliani was already in his “9/11 Tourette’s” phase, but not yet running for national office, so he was already popular in red states (though not as a presidential candidate).
perhaps have to go back to 10 September 2001 then, it’s just striking how both men are emblematic of a certain type of New York Liberal but it seems that doesn’t matter as they’re also enormous blowhards who never waste time affecting an air of concern about any other person.
