Writers Respond to Donald Trump's Reelection
Briefly

"Have we come to feel responsible for too much, for everything, even things outside of our control? Is it possible that 'politics' has come to mean arguing percussively about a short list of pre-approved topics... a framework designed not to solve anything but to ensure perpetual disagreement, with agitation as the goal, agitation being, let's face it, a big money-maker?"
"One way to look at the Presidential campaign is as a national sporting event designed to distract us from the lack of real democracy in our system... We are a country that is about money and entertainment. Trump was running as the embodiment of these."
