28. "I don't see how reconciliation is possible."

It isn’t.

The fear, ignorance, stupidity, racism, bigotry, misogyny, and hate won’t go away with Trump.

The fascist right Republican party will continue to pursue its agenda of white grievance politics, racist replacement theory, and anti-immigrant nativism.

Conservative reactionaryism is a malignancy we must suffer for decades to come, a chronic threat to our democratic institutions and the rights and protected liberties of the people.

Time is on the side of progressive liberalism; we can hope that by the end of this century the malignancy of the fascist right will have run its course.
