Kaddish for America:
The choice.
It’s All Your Fault
Today, before we even understand where all the pieces of our bombed village are, Democrats are devoting time and energy to, instead of anticipating the next horrifying moves by magafascists, blaming other Democrats.
Of course finger-pointing and recrimination have been a perennial pastime for Democrats until the first Trump Era cast an illusion of unity on the party. Now, in the aftermath of the hot disaster known as the election ‘24, Democrats have been reverting back to form. In the moment when we need to focus on protecting people who will be targeted in the coming storm, in a massive Schindleresque mission, we waste these precious days attacking each other.
It’s like, if your house were on fire and there were limited water to fight it, you paused the rescue operation to blame your relatives for their water consumption and, if possible, beat them with the bucket . . . even though there are still many things in the home to be saved. The joy of Megafascists must surely be enhanced by how little it took to see this secondary defeat (when THEY are the arsonists.) These Democrat-hunting Democrats might look up and see the dark night that is descending.
In life, when unfortunate things happen and one has a choice of looking back, living in grief and guilt, or facing front, I think the course is always to ask, “What can we do now.” The inability to do that, I believe, is characteristic of a collapse that is more than political or tactical, but moral and strategic: the buildings in the bombed village, that weren’t hit, collapsing as well.
Democrats will not save the country if they cannot save themselves. Democrats will not take out the thoroughly corrupt Magafascists if their stronger urge is to take out each other.
Find the power in the next act, which will surely be one in which Magas own the carnage.
Stay calm, organize.
Time is running out to have your gift matched
In this time of unrelenting, often unprecedented cruelty and lawlessness, I’m grateful for Nation readers like you.
So many of you have taken to the streets, organized in your neighborhood and with your union, and showed up at the ballot box to vote for progressive candidates. You’re proving that it is possible—to paraphrase the legendary Patti Smith—to redeem the work of the fools running our government.
And as we head into 2026, I promise that The Nation will fight like never before for justice, humanity, and dignity in these United States.
At a time when most news organizations are either cutting budgets or cozying up to Trump by bringing in right-wing propagandists, The Nation’s writers, editors, copy editors, fact-checkers, and illustrators confront head-on the administration’s deadly abuses of power, blatant corruption, and deconstruction of both government and civil society.
We couldn’t do this crucial work without you.
Through the end of the year, a generous donor is matching all donations to The Nation’s independent journalism up to $75,000. But the end of the year is now only days away.
Time is running out to have your gift doubled. Don’t wait—donate now to ensure that our newsroom has the full $150,000 to start the new year.
Another world really is possible. Together, we can and will win it!
Love and Solidarity,
John Nichols
Executive Editor, The Nation
