Who might ever have guessed that the genealogy of America's deliverance from Donald Trump and his Republican Party would be traced directly through the emphatic embrace in Spring, 2020, of racial equality before the law?

They rid themselves of Trump by reclaiming the sheer pleasure of the soul-sustaining resolve to be fair.
