"... we need to be more thoughtful, and less emotional, in assessing how best to minimize harm and maintain our country in a way that will enable us, when the time comes, to recover from a serious threat."
I think this, too, is a caution we must heed. We are only two weeks into this presidency, and we must be aware that the outrage we feel now will be hard to sustain without a commitment to long-term attentiveness and coherent strategies for resistance and political action. The worst case scenario in the Trump presidency is not legitimization but normalization. He is uniquely unqualified for the office that he holds, and we must never think that his holding it can be regarded as normal.
