comparisons

Nine days before Election Day, Donald Trump delivered his closing argument at a Madison Square Garden rally that drew comparisons to a 1939 pro-Nazi rally in the same arena and characterized by similar anti-democratic themes: demonization of immigrants and political enemies, invocation of strongman leadership, threats of violent retribution, denunciations of the press.

This makes year-on-year comparisons easier.

Sunday's match had been billed as a battle of the in-form strikers, with Forest's Chris Wood also on a fine scoring run, but Walcott feels Isak deserves comparisons to more illustrious names than the 6ft 3in New Zealand target man.

These kinds of comparisons are out of vogue; it has been hard to summon back the outrage we felt about Trump in 2016 this third time around.

It will be interesting to see how Harris is performing there compared to Biden in 2020—and to make those kinds of comparisons looking at the more rural Pennsylvania counties that should be able to count fairly quickly because they’re less populous.
