Casting about for Solace

Casting about for solace, I discovered that New York Times columnist Michelle Goldberg and I have been thinking along the same lines: speculating that Trump would cause so much damage that a great many his followers would become disillusioned with him and turn against him. Harris wasn’t able to convince a majority of voters how dangerous and damaging Trump would be. The passage of events during his presidency may be much more persuasive. There’s a fair chance that the mood of the country will shift dramatically, though, by the time that happens, if it happens, repression of opponents of those in power may have reached a Putinesque level of intensity.
