Donald Trump has preyed on the American psyche like a demon. At last the exorcism has begun

I've wondered whether America could recover from this president. A movement and a moment have made that possible

What a strange time to be feeling a sense of hope.

The coronavirus pandemic rages on. More than 20 million Americans are unemployed. Protests against police violence have been met with yet more police violence. Donald Trump spews divisive conspiracy theories and hatred. There is no one the nation can turn to for solace.

Eight out of 10 voters believe that things are out of control in the United States, and I don't understand what's wrong with the other two.

But something incredibly moving has happened, a combination of profound despair and a powerful catalyst. As Black Lives Matter co-founder Opal Tometi explained to the New Yorker:

[W]e have been sitting in our homes, navigating the pandemic, dealing with loved ones being sick, dealing with a great deal of fear and concern about what the day and the future will hold. We have millions of people who have lost their jobs and filed for unemployment and are living paycheck to paycheck and hand to mouth, and I believe they are just thoroughly fed up and thoroughly beside themselves with grief and concern and despair because the government does not seem to have a plan of action that is dignified and comprehensive and seeks to address the core concerns that the average American has.
