I intend to watch tonight's debate, not because I think it'll change my mind, but as a reality check not filtered by my bubble.

I did this during one of Trump's press briefings early in the pandemic. A reporter asked something to the effect of, "What would you say to Americans who are frightened right now?"

It was a softball question, an easy opportunity to make an inspiring, unifying speech.

Trump's response? "I'll tell you what I think. I think you're a terrible reporter, that's what I think."

He had nothing but bile for anyone not celebrating his narrative of nonstop winning.
