Until now it has been unclear to me precisely how Trump ends. His manifestly rotten character hasnât alienated his supporters, who are all too ready with rationalizations and fluent in trade-offs. Theyâre also unbothered by many of his missteps, because he has sold those to a cynical electorate as media fables and rivalsâ fabrications. Heâs so enterprising and assiduous at pointing the finger elsewhere that many voters have lost their bearings. Defeat is victory. Oppressors are liberators. Corruption is caring. Mar-a-Loco is Shangri-La.

I wouldnât be surprised if voters consciously or subconsciously conclude that they just canât continue to live like this and that four more years would be ruinous, if not to the country as a whole, then to our individual psyches. By the time Election Day rolls around, they may crave nothing more electric than stability and serenity. That wouldnât be a bad Democratic bumper sticker. Itâs essentially the message of Joe Bidenâs campaign.
Donald Trump Has Worn Us All Out
We can only hope that Frank Bruni is correct.
