"Melania Trump has become a stand-in for the nation, which has also been humiliated, even threatened, by the president's recklessly asserted droit du seigneur. We as a country — an electoral-college majority of us — married ourselves to a brutal overlord, and we have also made our bed. Anyone who finds fault with Melania for taking it, and for serving as an exponent of the president's bigotry, has to do what she cannot as first lady. Stand up to him at the midterms, put on some sturdy shoes and break free."
