We are beyond the point of reconciliation. President Trump dragged the filth that had been stewing just below the surface since the 70s and 80s into the light. The filth objects. There is A LOT of filth. The filth is well entrenched and highly infectious. And it is not going quietly into the night.
I'm generally not a praying man and my "personal theology" is that if there is a higher power, said power always acts indirectly and always through humans. And while it steers humans in the right direction, it also grimly accepts our failures and wrong turns because that is the price of the free will it endowed us with. Each wrong turn may only take a couple years, but it may take decades or centuries to turn back on the right path.
President Trump's divine mandate was to start this fire. It is the fire in which we will undoubtedly burn. But the alternative is to drown in filth, and frankly I'd rather burn. What we consider "normal" will return, but it will not return without great cataclysms and perturbations spread over a number of very long years. There is no sense in lamenting what is lost. All that's left is to be strong.
Not in our lifetimes, no.
