The damage he has done is of such epic proportion that it is perhaps irrevocable. He opened such a deformed can of worms, that he released a political botulism on our country. He awakened a toxic ideology of hate and of bigotry that had lain dormant and weak. It spread faster than covid ever could. We are not past it and who knows if we ever will be. Trump is a scourge, one of those stains so bad you just have to throw away the shirt.
And, he will run again.
Truthfully though, maybe we needed this to happen. To see the true makeup of our country, to clearly glimpse how rooted those ideologies are in the bedrock of our history, in our very constitution.
We have made strides in this country with civil rights, women's rights, gay rights, equality, etc. But, the root remained. You can pull a weed, but if you leave the root, the weed will grow back.
I'm predicting, even if he runs, he won't win. This, too, shall pass.
