It has been a year of tragedy, of catastrophe, of upheaval, a year that has inflicted one blow after another, a year that has filled the morgues, emptied the schools, shuttered workplaces, swelled the unemployment lines and polarized the electorate. It is a year in which one black American after another fell victim to the police and one city after another erupted in flames.
If the worst pandemic in a century and the worst economic collapse in nearly a century and the worst social unrest in a half-century were not enough, nature threw in a few more challenges in recent days in the form of rampaging wildfires out west and a ferocious hurricane down south. At times it has felt biblical, as if a torrent of plagues had been unleashed all at once.
But while 2020 feels cursed, it is still only two-thirds over. What could the next 4 months bring before the calendar turns? If nothing else, a bitter, angry, ugly, divisive presidential campaign followed by an Election Day that may not end on Election Day. It could stretch for weeks or even months with a disputed outcome. So, on top of another 1918 and another 1929 and another 1968, try adding another 2000, another Florida recount, but this time with, both candidates agree, nothing less than American democracy on the line.
As the fall contest gets underway after the nominating conventions, the national mood is sour. At least tomorrow is Friday.
