Donald Trump’s right-wing acolytes seem to regard him as the manifestation of the Second Coming. Liberals are probably equally convinced that he is the antiChrist. Bridging that gap right now seems highly improbable.
However, both groups have always respected the “through, rain, sleet or dark of night” United States Post Office. So now that Donald Trump, fearing a tsunami of Democratic mail-in ballots before November 3, is sabotaging even that government institution, can’t we agree that finally, at long last, this would—be dictator has gone too far?
Our democracy is, I fear, teetering on the edge of extinction.
