Oh, shoot. I'm going to copy AND save your paragraph. (can't edit typos here....) could you provide a link to your post about that essay contest sponsored by that prestigious Black sorority? You didn't win as I recall, but neither did Walter Williams, who died a couple of days ago. He did get into graduate school at UCLA because of his essay.

"Those of us who warn against it were not so much afraid of Trump, but of a second Trump. When he skedaddles in 2021, the threat is for another of his ilk."

This reminds me of what I have written many times since 2016: The next Trump is out there watching and learning. Enjoy this Trump. This Trump is the nice Trump.

The first Trump was Obama. These are the populists whose campaigns are based on social media appeal and the thrash of the interwebz. Their enemies are mature media and principle.

Yeah... But the populists FIGHT and “mature media” and “principle” do not.
