11. The Trump era may indeed be in decline, but we won't really know for sure until a few years from now when we can look

Tuesday

at this historical moment in hindsight.

Even if it is in decline, a lot of very bad things can still happen until the bitter end. In the summer of 1943, it was clear that Nazi Germany was in decline, but it took almost another 2 years before the fall of the Third Reich. And those last 2 years saw the worst of the Nazi killings and atrocities.

So let's not celebrate just yet. We still have a tremendous amount of work to do and a long way to go.
