"...the relentless barrage of election lies from Donald Trump and his allies have been like a river carving a gorge out of a mountain, dramatically reshaping the land long after the water itself has passed. "
I also enjoyed “the electorate will little note, nor long remember, what happened in that courtroom in NY”. It was so interesting, and so vicious, and horrible, and so beautiful in so many ways. Never fight uphill, me boys.
And the (only) amusing part is that the distrust in election operations has lodged firmly in the most MAGA leaning counties. It will not break my heart if these counties, going back to hand counts, can’t meet their deadlines to certify votes, and thus are not included in final state totals. Perhaps the courts will step in and permit including tardy vote totals, but that’s where we are headed.
My high school English teacher would use the word “elegant” in describing writing that “captured the idea perfectly” not that the idea was necessarily a good one.

This is a lovely construction.

Yes it is - also enjoyed the ending - “Mopping up the water doesn’t un-carve the gorge.”
It's such an elegant description of the times we are living through.
Elegant? You might even say it's gorgeous. (Or, you might be a normal person who wouldn't say that.)
