From an always irritating commentator who occasionally offers wisdom:"... I think the closest thing to defining 'American' is a false sense of safety."
Poet Javier Zamora
There are historical parallels:"The Italian leftist, Antonio Gramsci, famously wrote, 'The crisis consists precisely in the fact that the old is dying and the new cannot be born; in this interregnum a great variety of morbid symptoms appear.' We live in such a time, and we have in front of us one of those morbid symptoms: the current Republican Party. You know what to do."
Lest we forget:“In South Africa, they used to say, ‘Only a dying mule kicks the hardest.’ So that’s what you are seeing.”
"We should vote as if our lives depend on it. Maybe they do."
