"A time will come-maybe in two years, maybe in three, maybe in five, but the time will come-when this country comes to its senses and realizes how dangerous and terrible Donald Trump was. Just as the Civil Rights Movement was a reckoning, and Watergate was a reckoning, and Stonewall was a reckoning, and the Suffrage Movement was a reckoning, and so many other moments in history were reckonings, someday most people will agree that Trump did deep, lasting damage to the United States."
"Just as this country removed monuments to slave owners and confederate leaders, and changed the names of streets and buildings, we will remove Trump's name from everything he sullied. Congress will pass laws, as it did after Vietnam and Watergate, to limit presidential power and prevent this type of authoritarianism. It won't be perfect, but it will be a statement: This was a disgraceful time."
"Jeff Bezos, Mark Zuckerberg, Elon Musk, and the rest of the technorati who gave up their humanity to worship Trump in the interests of even more wealth will become pariahs. The Republicans in Congress who went along with Trump's takeover will lose their seats and be political outcasts. The members of the Supreme Court who allowed this to happen will resign in disgrace or be impeached."
A national reckoning will recognize Donald Trump's tenure as dangerous and deeply damaging to the United States. Comparisons are drawn to historical reckonings such as the Civil Rights Movement, Watergate, Stonewall, and the Suffrage Movement. Public commemorations and honors tied to Trump will be removed, and laws will be enacted to constrain presidential power and curb authoritarian tendencies. Corporate and political enablers — including tech leaders, Republicans who supported Trump, and certain Supreme Court members — will face professional ruin, legal consequences, and social ostracism. Corporate boycotts and board dismissals are anticipated, and members of Trump's cabinet are predicted to face criminal accountability. Individuals who resisted Trump will be regarded as heroes.
