“If Trump is a Mr. Hyde who has deleted Dr. Jekyll’s number from his phone, then Harris is Lord Jim, a figure who was supposed to have been heroic but fell just short of the mark (‘He was an inch, perhaps two, under six feet,’ is the first thing Joseph Conrad tells us about the ingratiating clerk), an essentially passive character who ‘had the gift of finding a special meaning in everything that happened to him.’ And so 2024 is a genuine clown show: Pennywise vs. Cooky, the monstrous predator vs. the frustrated aspirant who seems doomed to remain forever Vice Bozo. … Their deficiencies do not seem to me parallel or of equal weight, but, though I do not share the view, there are people I respect who are so absolutely terrified of Harris that they will pull the lever for Trump even though they comprehend exactly what he is.” (10/18/24)
