. . . It turns out that Trumpism is many things: a
cult, per religious scholar Reza Aslan, and perhaps even a
doomsday cult; an
excuse for those who demand that the long dead past come calling on them, rather than proactively moving toward the future, and a
window into an ugly part of the American soul. For the Republican Party, Trumpism is like a slow-acting poison. It may not kill the party today, but just as its wiser adherents, some of whom have left the party,
warned a year ago, it is condemning the Grand Old Party to at best a schism, and at worst an existential grave.Tuesday’s election allowed millions in the American majority to finally take a deep, cleansing breath after a year of fear and loathing, watching the
rampant corruption of our government and the
degradation of our culture by the vulgar president and his Putinite coterie. It allowed the world to see that our country has not gone entirely mad.
