"When Outrage Has No Resolution"

"The obvious answer is that America's political institutions are not strong, or at least, not as strong as the office of the presidency. And that US values are not robust, or at least not robust enough to withstand the vandalism of a sociopathic leader. Trump will succeed not only because he presides over a minority hardcore base, but also if the majority check out. The challenge now is far bigger than finding a way to outnumber Trump's support in 2020. It is how to ensure that the sense of futility does not overwhelm the public by then."

Nesrine Malik at The Guardian warns against "Trump fatigue."
