While we must not make light of Donald Trump’s incitement of domestic terrorists, we should recognize that his presidency kicked over the rock sheltering the multitude of hate groups secretly spawning just beneath. The threat to our nation has been long simmering in the shadows but now, emboldened by Trump, this growing horde of diverse insurgents has surged into the open, raising our awareness of the magnitude of the peril.
Trump’s reign has also unmasked the many elected officials, all of them Republicans, willing to abandon constitutional duties for the pursuit of power.
Now that Trump’s collaboration with Society’s worst elements has exposed more fully the heightened danger and sounded the alarm, we may, with greater resolve and sense of urgency, man the ramparts.
