The Idea of America

Right now, Donald Trump is just a candidate for president of the United States. Trumpism is just an ugly affliction of 60,000,000 degenerate low-lifes.

But if Donald Trump wins on Tuesday then he and them become "Us", America. And the idea of Trumpism becomes the Idea of America 2.0.

Seeing that photograph from The New York Times and reading Bono's speech again has made me feel how very, very much this election matters. This election will determine the government of the United States for the next four years and that is very important but this election will do far more, it will determine if Americans still "keep faith with the idea of America. 

There is no better case for Hillary Clinton over Donald Trump than this.
