The Republican faithful in Saginaw seemed to be basking in the glow of Trump’s second inaugural address, as if every word was a mantra for their utopian vision. They spoke of the upcoming 100 days with a fervor that suggested they were counting down to the beginning of their own little paradise. ‘The journey has been long and arduous, but here we are, and we’re going to revel in it,’ seems to suggest that their anticipation isn’t just for Trump’s promises, but for the golden era they believe is about to dawn. Yet, they also seemed aware that words without action are just words, hence the impatience in their plea, ‘Mr. Trump, pick up your pen and take a seat at your opulent desk, for the magic of your stroke is awaited.’
