Very soon, Americans will be in the early stages of detoxification from the quadrennial bacchanal that we call the presidential election. As I write, I don’t know which of the candidates will become the next President of the United States. But I do know that the US will, once again, be the loser.
Regardless of who wins, we will have elected someone who will not and cannot heal the wounds of our toxic national politics. The winner will continue to perpetuate the same divisive attitudes and policies that characterise our pathological political culture.
