IN my Nov. 7, 2024 column, which was written just as the polls were closing and the first voting results were being announced in the United States elections, I said that I was fairly confident I knew what the outcome would be. I was quite wrong about that, obviously.

That, unfortunately, would result in another period of chaos as the neo-fascist Trump cult tried to overturn the election results.As we know now, of course, it wasn't even close.
