On the day before President Trump was to deliver his first State of the Union speech, an event his furious, humiliated wife reportedly will attend only grudgingly, the rest of us were reminded that a state of undeclared civil war now exists in America. On one side is the president, his Republican allies in Congress, scions of finance and commerce who are cashing in on the administrations widening corruption, white nationalists and their enablers, the resentment-nursing, swindled forgotten men and women, and the gleeful Russians. On the other side are the rest of us, including longtime public servants at the Justice Department and the FBI, and congressional Democrats who have the facts but clearly not the power on their side. It is a war that has been waged since the president took his oath of office with his American Carnage speech, designed to terrify and split an already-divided nation. . . .
