I’m with you. I have hope, too! I’m in Oregon, but lived many years in Minneapolis and have lots of family there. As someone said, DHS sent ICE to Minnesota, which has lots of descendants of the Vikings, in winter! Minnesota is showing them!
One year of Trump: Lied every time he opened his mouth. Hid the Epstein papers. Threatened and abandoned allies. Undermined NATO. Bullied Denmark over Greenland. Allowed Russia to take over much of Ukraine and threaten Europe. Allowed the destruction of Gaza (Biden too). Threatened Canada, Mexico, Venezuela, Panama, Brazil, and Columbia. Increased tariffs and then decreased tariffs on all countries except Russia (chaos). Attacked U.S. citizens in their homes. Threatened U.S. citizens with armed forces in our cities. Increased the deficit. Worsened inflation. Tried to erase African-American history. (MLK day tomorrow) Increased unemployment. Destroyed the civil service. Destroyed half of the White House on a whim so he can build a half billion dollar ball-room. Destroyed the Kennedy Center. Suspended the rights of citizens and non-citizens. Threatened to cancel elections. Violently attacked immigrants most of whom are law abiding and here legally. Accepted contributions from and then pardoned drug kingpins and multi-million dollar fraudsters. Pardoned all the January 6th rioters. Murdered a few citizens and immigrants.
All in one year.
Anyone who thinks America is better off after a year of Trump is probably a billionaire who is too busy counting his money or is as delusional as he is and quite likely a racist.
I admire your (and Ns. Kendrick’s) optimism … and I agree this stinks of desperation … but I don’t think SCOTUS minds the authoritarianism … as long as it can insinuate itself as part of the (dictatorial) narrative.
As always, thank you for your analysis and for your thoughts!
Good column.

Thank you for telling us about Jamelle Bouie’s piece. I’m compelled to read it now!
