Donald Trump will lose, at least it seems so. Perhaps we can prepare for a sigh of relief.. However, he has done inestimable damage to our national unity. Shakespeare said it so well, “The evil that men do lives after them; the good is oft interred with their bones.”
In this instance his expected political demise will leave no residue of goodness, but will most certainly leave a lasting national atmosphere of evil divisiveness–of hate, misogyny, bigotry and xenophobia. He has worked hard to create an ‘us versus them’ chasm. He has tried to instill a distrust of everyone not in total agreement with him.
As an aside, there is a plethora of examples about his campaign that says much about his abhorrent style. Among a multitude of recent topics, he has attacked the other candidate’s spouse–but blames her for his dalliances. This campaign isn’t about Melania or Bill. They aren’t running for office. It is about Donald and Hillary. He gets away with statements that would ostracize most men from the coffee gang or the deer camp. But I digress….
The damage he has done can be undone, but it will take time and effort of men and women of
goodwill.
