w ith the presidential election less than a week away, my once-composed optimism has given way to panic. sheer, stomach-churning panic. you see, up until now i had done a somewhat decent job of not allowing myself to imagine the unimaginable: donald trump winning. but as election day looms closer, and the racism and sexism that infects trump<u+2019>s campaign is ratcheted up, it<u+2019>s hard not to be terrified. 




in the past week, a ku klux klan newspaper endorsed trump and white supremacists announced their plan for widespread voter intimidation. trump rally-goers shouted antisemitic invective at reporters, and a historically black church in mississippi was burned and <u+201c>vote trump<u+201d> scrawled across the side. another woman came forward to accuse trump of sexual assault , and a texas official called hillary clinton a <u+201c>cunt<u+201d>. 




this isn<u+2019>t a political divide between left and right, democrats and republicans; it<u+2019>s an immeasurable moral chasm. and so i understand why it<u+2019>s been easier for many horrified by trump to simply pretend there<u+2019>s no way that he could actually win the presidency.
