The core issue is these 4 Congresswomen could very well be seen as the symbolic face of America [View all]
As opposed to Trump
It's day vs night, bigger than Democratic Party vs Republican Party or left wing vs right wing, it's...
Meritocracy vs inheritance
Action vs reaction
Activism vs laziness
Civic participation vs keeping others away from the table
Inclusion vs exclusion
Pluralism vs exclusivism
Self-empowerment vs hostile privilege
Progress vs holding onto the past
"I earned it because I work hard, I study hard, and I didn't do it alone" vs "I earned it because I'm rich and that automatically makes me right and smarter than everyone else"
Hope and change vs paranoia and stagnation
There's a real possibility that when people think of "America", inside and out, they no longer see Trump's mug, but these 4 Congresswomen.
I know I do.
That might also explain the fixation from the right against these 4. They want to destroy the set of things on the left side of that list.
The contest to be the face of America is going on now. I'd rather have the values of that left side of that be our symbolic face, even if that means a permanently diminished symbolic role for the POTUS even after Trump.
