9/11 was a day of terror the world will never forget. In many ways, Trump’s presidency was (and will likely continue to be for quite some time) a sustained terrorizing of the American and global population for 4 years.

Every day, every tweet, every executive order was a horrifying display of leadership without empathy, courage or concern for the people. Many seemed designed as a tool of psychological warfare. It was a case study for how a system that relied on norms and basic human decency could be abused and contorted to serve the whims of bigotry, selfishness and fear.

Biden is like a healing balm that might take the temperature down. But he is not a cure.

America still suffers from the illness of coronavirus. It still has an electoral college and districting system that suppresses the vote. It’s still filled with undereducated and underpaid people who’s education and social system has failed them - making them sick, desperate and scared. It is still lead - in large part - by disgusting craven men who have no shame, courage or empathy.

This is to say nothing of what Trump and his cult will do next.

I am relieved that Donald is experiencing some nominal consequences for his character and actions over the last four years. But this is not over. Not by a long shot.
