Defeating both Trump and Trumpism

Although Donald Trumps defeat is a prerequisite to national recovery, the
profound damage he has done to our nation will not be wiped away if he
loses.
.
And even if she wins, Hillary Clinton will still be feeling the effects of
the multiyear campaign waged by Republicans in Congress to destroy her.
The evidence suggests that her GOP foes will try to end her presidency
prematurely by colluding with an implacably hostile conservative media
and, it now seems, right-wing agents inside the FBI.
.
Clinton got good news on Sunday when FBI Director James B. Comey announced
that his decision not to charge her would remain unchanged after the
agencys review of newly discovered emails.
.
But Comeys announcement only underscored his own recklessness in issuing
his Oct. 28 letter announcing the existence of the emails before the FBI
even knew what was in them. His letter poisoned the political atmosphere
against Clinton without any justification to the great advantage of Trump
and the glee of her congressional critics.
.
So while I celebrate the conclusion of the most abysmal campaign of my
lifetime, I fear that this will not end the division, aggression and
rancid prejudice Trump has nurtured.
.
A Trump victory would unleash the furies. But even a Trump loss will not
advance the cause of social peace and mutual tolerance unless the majority
of Americans who still believe in making our experiment in self-government
work insist on the need for Congress to govern, not obstruct. Abraham
Lincoln had little use for political grudges: I am in favor of short
statutes of limitations in politics. His successors in the Republican
Party would no doubt declare him a sellout for harboring such sentiments.
.
After all we have learned about Trumps selfishness, indiscipline,
mendacity, greed, misogyny, vindictiveness and intellectual laziness, it
should not be necessary to continue to make a case against him. The man
who opened his campaign by declaring that many immigrants to our country
from Mexico are rapists has legitimized far-right politics and the open
expression of bigotry. White nationalism has flourished in the garden of
Trumpism.
.
Voters know about his treatment of women, his shortchanging those who
worked for him, his warm statements about authoritarian leaders, his
readiness to be assisted by Vladimir Putins minions, his denigration of a
Gold Star family and a heroic POW, and his open promises to use the
instruments of government to punish his enemies. Long ago, all this should
have reduced his share of the vote to single digits.
.
The fact that Trump, on the contrary, still has a chance of victory speaks
to a profound distemper in the country. Our deep divides along lines of
party, race, class, gender and region guarantee even a man as deeply
flawed as Trump a firm foundation of support. And many of our fellow
citizens, shaken by economic and social changes, are hurting so much that
they have embraced the opportunity to use Trump as a way of expressing
their rage.
