Shannon Proudfoot: With his election loss, Trump's rule by chaos is drawing to a close. And with it our role as unwilling audience members in his drama.

Trump listens during a meeting in Washington, D.C., on June 15, 2020

Politics is always all-consuming for partisans who care a lot, or for people directly affected by the policies that result, but the sheer velocity and volume of the Trump era has trapped tens of millions of unwilling audience members far beyond the borders of the United States.

The soundtrack was Biden reciting a passage from the Seamus Heaney poem “Doubletake,” which he quoted throughout the race:The longed-for tidal waveThen came the tonal shift: “Hope for a great sea-change on the far side of revenge.” We saw Biden affixing something to the shirt of a small Black boy, Biden seated in a crowd with his head bowed, a crowd of protesters with their fists thrown up in rage toward Trump Tower.

“I don’t want to get too flowery about it, but this is the most important country in the world and we are a human family in some sense…and you would hope that we move toward some goals more than others.” Indeed, the election results themselves did not deliver the decisive cathartic release many people badly wanted, even with Biden’s lead in both the popular vote and electoral college tally likely to increase when ongoing vote counts in Nevada and Georgia are completed.

This was published on Nov 7. Why repost it now? Magazine didn’t sell well? Trying to get more readers?

I couldn’t read anymore after I got to the omelet comparison. Merry Christmas.

Give me a break, theatrics aside, the totally corrupt Biden administration will be just as bad and maybe worse but in a more civil demeanor.

Thank GOD
