I sat down to write an essay about President Trump’s energetic rally in Georgia before a massive crowd of ebullient patriots. I wanted to discuss the reasons why this American leader has set himself apart from all others. I wanted to bolster his rallying cry that “we’re going to take back our country from these lunatics.” I thought I might entitle my final product “The Resplendent Donald Trump,” because he has shone a light on the struggles and opportunities facing Americans today better than any public figure in decades.
I put that essay aside, however, when I couldn’t get past a recurring theme showing up in the writings and commentaries I read daily. That theme is unmistakable despair. It seems that bad news has piled up so steadily that it is becoming harder and harder to see over that pile toward a future of our own making.
