New York Times columnist Charles Blow on the test facing America with the Malignant Loser's imminent indictment(s):
"We’re at a point in the nation’s history where we are called to endure what I call the inconvenience of the necessary, a point at which something is morally right — and morally unavoidable — but the political timing is problematic.
"We’ve faced these moments before, and too often we’ve eschewed the moral position for the political one — from allowing Reconstruction to fail and allowing Jim Crow to rise, to delaying acknowledgment of L.G.B.T.Q. rights, to the about-face on police reform in the face of a public panic about crime.
"Moving forward, unapologetically and righteously, with the prosecution of Trump is another test that our country faces and another chance our country has to make the right — or wrong — choice.
"History is always watching and always recording.
"Trump will not be remembered well. He will, I believe, be a marker of one of the times the country came closest to losing itself. The question remaining to be answered is how the rest of us will be remembered." (our emphasis)
Blow challenges us to tune out the political consultants and Beltway media's chatter about "will this help Trump" in the 2024 elections. Get on with the work that needs to be done, inconvenient or not.
