America needs to calm down — Democrats are acting like crazy QAnon cultists

Now, though, as if frozen in horror at the attempt on Trump’s life, all the fight has gone out of the Democrats. According to a report in Axios, a senior Democrat said, “We’ve all resigned ourselves to a second Trump presidency.” This seems unnecessarily defeatist. Following the shooting, there is the opportunity to make the case for a less chaotic, calmer, more tolerant America, without ceding power to a vengeful Trump. It was the message that helped Biden win in 2020, but in 2024 it will need a new messenger.
