Don't kid yourselves. The old trust is well and truly burned up. Can we establish new trusts and structures? Probably.
But expecting things just to flip back once orange hobgoblin is gone is just naive.

I take part in that re-enactment every year.
Ghosts or not its still kinda sobering to remember that the field on which we re-enact it is part of the actual site where it happened.
For real chills and hairs on the neck I recommend the sites of Culloden and Towton...

1. It was not an accident.
2. It was not a staffer.
3. While the president may have dementia his racism is not due to dementia.
4. He isn’t sorry. He means every racist thought he shares.
5. His base agrees with him.
6. He will do it again.
7. No one in power will hold him accountable.

Walz: "We have got children in Minnesota hiding in their houses, afraid to go outside. Many of us grew up reading that story of Anne Frank. Somebody is gonna write that children's story about Minnesota."

In a sensible real country then yes.
USA no longer has the right to claim to such a thing.

Just so livid.
He just stands up and lies and America lets him, Americans let him lie as the face of his country.
