Without Trump the alternative reality will collapse and subside.
I hope you’re right about that! And I hope the State will treat its citizens better than others it labels Terrorist. I’ve heard Guantanamo isn’t a great place to be. That aside, Trump only used and amplified existing fears and divisions, he didn’t have to invent any of it. Those long term issues are what we need to work on.
Healing won’t happen through conversation… the State operates through a much longer timeframe than individual humans.
We can operate on longer time frames by getting better at conversation, at admitting when we’re wrong, and by acting as though our actions can have a small but lasting cumulative effect. If we don’t even try, then you’re definitely right. If we do try, there’s a chance we could do better.
The State will pave over this entire thing so deftly it will be as if it never happened.
Here, I think we fully agree. I can’t wait to see how history books treat this in a decade or two!
