re: "Mitch McConnell Has Seen the Promised Land" (The New York Times, September 21, 2020)
Like gardens of Eden, mythic promised lands nurture such intrinsic evils in their ideological foundations that they often turn out to be less joyous than promised for all concerned.
As in the abortion debate, reality and calm reason are more reliable guides to understanding and justice than any supernatural myth pulling crude emotional levers.
Let us, therefore, pray that even the likes of Mitch McConnell and his other enablers of Trump's assault on great American institutions will pause before committing further enormities against the proud traditions of liberal democracy that had once upon a time made America great for Americans and for the world to aspire to.
