The American people are traumatized by the Age of Trump and what it unleashed. The damage is at once physical, emotional, psychological, intellectual, financial, spiritual and political, and is nowhere near being healed or repaired.
This trauma comes with a literal body count, and that outcome is not a negative externality, a "defect" or an accident. Trumpism, like other forms of fascism and authoritarianism, is lethal by design.
