I took the unusual step of forwarding the Atlantic article to my mother, with the instruction to pass it along to anyone she might know. Email forwards still make the rounds among the Boomers, and their content is almost always MAGA; I wanted to give her some ammo. At the end of the email, I wrote:
"I would give anything to watch Uncle Frank come back from the grave as a 48-year-old Marine vet who fought at Guadalcanal and kick the shit out of this asshole."

"How can there not be some sort of incredible, unknowable power in all of us suddenly focusing our attention on our dead ancestors who served in combat?
Could it be that their spirits have been summoned for one last call of duty? That Trump has awakened an army of ghosts—WW2 vets who, unlike the slithering poltroons of today’s GOP, know a megalomaniacal dictator when they see one?"
There are 58 days until the election. The battle is not yet over, and we have to prepare for our enemy’s increasing desperation. But Trump can’t come back from this. He can’t. Uncle Frank did not appear to Diane, or to me, to announce that the fight was lost. Victory will be ours. We shall prevail.
