An election that lays bare America's soul -- and the rot goes well beyond Trump


As we stand on the precipice of election night, with the shadows of yet another deadly wave of COVID looming over us, our sense of collective dread continues to build.

How did it come to be that our president is himself sowing the seeds of fear and division, turning red states against blue states as the virus’ death toll mounts across them all?

Should we be surprised? He told us, before we gave him the nuclear codes, that he was so adored that he could get away with shooting someone on Fifth Avenue. Perhaps we didn’t think big enough about just how big a body count he would rack up in order to cling to power.

It's OK to be nervous about this election. We're about to find out if America is too stupid to live.
