How can we move on from here? It's going to take a lot of time and a lot of political will. The less will, the more time. If Trump wins, the best case is Poland: a cycle or two with a hard right, authoritarian government, followed by an electoral backlash that pushed the government back toward the center.

The UK has thrown out the Tories after 14 years in favor of a centrist PM who has purged the Labour party of radicals and antisemites. France somehow kept the RN from taking power. Europe can harness political will. The US refuses to take political crises seriously. That has to change, or we will be facing an authoritarian GOP for a generation.
