      1. Much of the fantasy politics of months has been based on the idea that getting rid of Trump will restore normality.

      2. Think of all the magic bullets that were supposed to save us from Trump: the GOP convention, the electoral college, the Deep State etc.

      3. The fundamental fantasy is that once Trump is gone, we'll be back to the way things were. That Trump is an outlier, a bad dream.

      4. But there's really no going back. Even if Trump is impeached or resigns, he's activated white nationalism in a powerful new way.

          it's not clear why you refer to his campaign rallies as "campaign style." He's filed for 2020, WH refers questions to "the campaign."

          TY for your eloquent essay of what's been in my head since Nov. The US will never be the same. Our restoration ahead will take generations.

          My view is that Trumpism isn't a resurgent white nationalism but the dying gasp of a system that knows it's on it's way out.
