Tornado Alley (PROG)

Both Tocqueville and Jefferson would be throwing up over Trump being given a 2nd chance to wreck America with his authoritarianism and thirst for retribution.

As well, neither of those two would be cheering the attempted dismantling of the wall between church and state by the wannabe theocrats in the GOP.

Tocqueville had unmistakably recognized the heart, the beating life-force, the living soul of American life and government.

“There is no country in the world,” he wrote, “where the Christian religion retains its influence over the souls of men than in America; and there can be no greater proof of its utility and its conformity to human nature than that its influence is powerfully felt over the most enlightened and free nation of the earth.”

The election of Donald Trump yesterday to the highest office of President of the United States is another miracle. Another sign of American exceptionalism. A sign that God in His Mercy has decided to give America and the world another chance, another lease of life.
