This is sort of like the effect of a royal wedding or a royal birth but for Republicans. And perhaps it is a reflection of the social media bubbles that I frequent but I cannot think of a more joyous time to be a New Zealander. And the jarring contrast between New Zealand celebrating the introduction of a brand new child and the US of A where the Trump administration is celebrating the persecution of children for political advantage is jarring.
Even David Farrar has been affected and wrote this very gentle uplifting post about the birth. I share with him through experience how special the birth of a child is and the realisation it brings that suddenly there is someone else who is totally dependent on you.
