Americans are beginning to demand more than just Trumpism. Trump. His endless stream of Big Lies, his unhinged rants, his vitriol. They are starting to sense it doesn’t go anywhere, lead to anything, that it’s just a dead end for them, in the soul, and for their society. This is why Trump’s schtick now feels old. Isn’t even met with outrage anymore, just laughter. Why his rallies are emptier by the day. And why he rages, more violently, trying to weave his spell again.
…
America’s growing, because people are maturing. They are outgrowing the simplistic fairy-tale fantasies of demagogic movements. They are becoming more demanding, sophisticated citizens again, worthy of a democracy. At the same time, leaders like Harris and Walz have emerged, who are teaching people that through goodness and joy and love, a society can be repaired, and led to higher heights still. That there’s a place to go that’s not just the abyss.
