If the world survives the next handful of years, I wonder if the writers and thinkers who still have their sanity will be able to mark a point sometime around 2017 when an Awakening began to build. I have this fantasy of a modern Kristallnacht taking place, where one morning while sipping coffee and browsing the news, we learn those at the top of the pyramid are either hanging from ropes or in Guantanamo. Chicken farms stop burning down, trains stop derailing, and Germany decides to patch things up with Russia after all. Black and white neighbors enjoy cookouts together like we used to, and professional athletes don’t need to make political statements during the National Anthem. Kids stop pretending to be trans, we can go through airports with our dignity intact, and people can express their thoughts once again without being shrieked-at by Body Snatchers. It is a nice dream, anyway.
