“One can be overjoyed by the repudiation of a candidate without being pleased with the opposing candidate’s victory. This election is an occasion for that reaction. An American (or anyone actually) is perfectly justified in taking pleasure in Kamala Harris’s humiliating defeat while anguishing over the intemperate Donald Trump’s impressive win. As I like to say, every election has good and bad news: the losers lost but the winners won. That’s where I am today if anyone cares to know. I rejoice at the defeat of Harris and virtually all that she stands for, while also realizing that some of the grounds for that defeat are themselves to be repudiated.” (11/08/24)
