Arizona and every other battleground state has gone for Trump, and decisively handed him a second term. My colleague wrote recently about the deeper meaning of the “promise of America” that Kamala Harris invoked on the campaign trail. This America is cruel and vicious, uninterested in equality or justice, instead intent on indulging its basest desires. I hope my kids inherit some semblance of that “promise of America.” But I’d be lying if I said I believed, in this moment, that we will. But the greatness of America has always been our resilience and our commitment to truth and justice.
