Donald Trump
Via The Bulwark:
The American people have made a disastrous choice. And they have done so decisively, and with their eyes wide open.
…After everything…the American people liked what they saw. At a minimum, they were willing to accept what they saw.
…So: We can lament our situation. We can analyze how we got here. We can try to learn lessons from what has happened. We have to do all these things.
But we can’t only do those things. As Churchill put it: “In Defeat: Defiance.” We’ll have to keep our nerve and our principles against all the pressure to abandon them. We’ll have to fight politically and to resist lawfully. We’ll have to do our best to limit the damage from Trump. And we’ll have to lay the groundwork for future recovery.
