11-8

This may well be the beginning of the end: the early moments of a historical pivot point, when the slide of the republic into something untoward and unrecognizable still feels like a small collection of poor judgments and reversible decisions, rather than the forward edge of an enormous menace inching its way forward and grinding up that which we held dear and foolishly thought, as lovers do, would ever endure.-Charles Blow.

Mr. Blow sees more clearly than some of his colleagues at The New York Times. November 8 was the end of America as we knew it and the beginning of America 2.0.
