Excellent article about what really makes the United States unique and what should give us hope for the future. The Trump years are not about the future, they are about recreating the worst of the past.
We must understand that what we've been living through is backlash. Backlash. It's not the engine of history. It is the revolt against the engine of history. Then we might remember — just to pat ourselves on the back for a second — that what we are actually endeavoring to do right now is to become a kind of society that has seldom, if ever, existed in history. Which is become a majority-minority, democratic superpower.
Trump and his MAGA mob are fighting to restore the past. America has always been in the future, not locking into the past. The victory of the country that our founders and every great leader of this country has fought for is not inevitable, but it is possible. We can't despair. We can work for the future.
