How Is This Election Even Close?


 The following is a small part of a post by Robert Reich:

These are the most stressful and nerve-wracking days I can recall. I vacillate between optimism and fear, hope and dread. 

 

I don’t recall an election in which the two candidates represent such opposite poles of the American character. 


Harris is the rule of law; Trump, lawlessness. Harris, inclusion; Trump, exclusion. Harris, decency; Trump, loathsomeness. Harris, the American Dream; Trump, the American nightmare.

 

Harris wants the best for the country; Trump wants the best only for himself. 


I don’t need to go on. You know all this. The question is why doesn’t everyone else? That almost half of America appears willing to vote for Trump is itself shocking.
