When reality becomes a nightmare, dreams begin to seem like a form of sanity. Amid the waking nightmare that has been the Trump presidency, liberals have had one hope that has kept them going: that one day, perhaps sooner rather than later, we will be rid of Donald Trump. He is so manifestly unfit for office, so reckless in violating the fundamental tenets of democracy, so personally unstable and vindictive, that it could only be a matter of a few short years before he is either driven from the White House by impeachment or voted out of office by the majority of Americans who consider him a dangerous fraud and a national embarrassment. Once he is gone, liberals believe—once he has finally exited our lives for good—we can begin the difficult work of restoring some semblance of order and reason in a world without Trump.
