"Nightmare" Year Sparks Hope for American "Reckoning"

A leading commentator suggests the past year's political turmoil may lead to a national awakening. Robert Reich recounts a stranger's blunt assessment from one year ago: "It’s a fucking nightmare!" He agrees with that description of the period since the start of the Trump 2.0 administration. However, Reich expresses a core belief. He hopes this "horrific darkness" is a necessary prelude to a brighter and more rational future for the United States. The implication is that a grand national reckoning may now await.
