Anniversaire de l'apocalypse: Trump était élu il y a un an (Michelle Goldberg, New York Times)

Mensonge, corruption, réalité alternative et autoritarisme ne sont que quelques exemples de ce que Michelle Goldberg refuse d'accepter comme étant la "nouvelle réalité" des États-Unis. Elle ne peut baisser les bras et continue à dénoncer pour éviter que ses concitoyens ne s'inclinent.

 "A secular Turkish journalist told me, her voice sad and weary, that while people might at first pour into the streets to oppose Trump, eventually the protests would probably die out as a sense of stunned emergency gave way to the slog of sustained opposition. The Russian dissident writer Masha Gessen warned that there’s no way, with a leader who lays siege to the fabric of reality, to fully hold on to a sense of what’s normal. “You drift, and you get warped,” she told me.

They were both right. The country has changed in the past year, and many of us have grown numb after unrelenting shocks. What now passes for ordinary would have once been inconceivable. The government is under the control of an erratic racist who engages in nuclear brinkmanship on Twitter. He is dismantling the State Department, defending the hollowing out of the diplomatic corps by saying, on Fox News, “I’m the only one that matters.”
