The Democracy We Deserve

“I’ve met dedicated Trump voters — those who really love the man and his bluster. I’ve met Trump voters who find the man appalling but want what they think he will deliver — including laying waste to what they see as wokism. And I’ve met people who voted for Trump, hating the man, what he stands for, and what he may try to accomplish; they also, though, believe he will either tear down the existing system or pave the way for its self-implosion. They may not like or agree with him, but they are willing to accept him to end what they see as evil capitalism, colonialism, patriarchy, etc. Before the election, the last group I just mentioned scared me the most because of their unpredictability. I think that fear turned out to be well justified.” (11/19/24)
