You asked what it was about. I posted this earlier here, but it doesn’t hurt to repost.
A dream of an article that I should save and reread every morning to keep my spirits up. A love of Trump as great as my own.

Trump as Folk Hero
By Gordon Wysong
FTA:
...Trump was being scorned by every media outlet, but continued to make salient points. The MSM would pen a 700-word article belittling Trump, and he would tweet 20 words that had more wisdom, more punch, and more credibility than that article. The defiant “You and whose army!” seemed to be the response to each challenge.
The defiance was just what the besieged segment of America had been waiting for. Finally… finally, someone, who would fight. It was in this period that Trump became not just a candidate, but something very special. He became a Folk Hero. Like Robin Hood, the U.S. Ice Hockey team, or Sgt. Alvin York, Trump was struggling against overwhelming odds, and many people began identifying with him.
...
Americans admire others who win in the confrontation with a superior adversary and often imagine being in their place. Academics, journalists, and bureaucrats constantly remind the lower caste “you can’t do that,” yet experience has proven that sometimes we can. It is this spirit that Trump personified, and it is the reason so many bonded so deeply with him.
The unfairness of media coverage forced a choice between Trump and the establishment alliance. Hillary was on the sidelines. She never had the capacity to engage, because Trump was such an effective communicator and she was such a terrible actress. But every element of the press, academia, the bureaucracy, the professional politicians, and the nonprofits was out in force. They presumed to be our betters and never stopped to acknowledge us; instead, they presumed to lecture us. It p***ed us off!
The commoners, 63 million strong, got revenge and vindication on election night.
...
It is rarely noted that Trump’s popularity hardly moves with the issues of the day. Why is that? Simply stated, there is now a personal bond. The base shared Trump’s foxhole, and he led them to victory. The gratitude that Trump has earned cannot be erased by slurs against his person. And further, the insults that he endures are seen as the same ones that have been used to control the public for decades.
...
The deplorables were here in 2016, and will be here in 2020. President Trump is not just any hero; he is a genuine folk hero.
