Seen on the street

A reminder to any who might be unwary. At least for the last 50 years, it's been a norm among white citizens and prosperous citizens to have low expectations of government, even if we're often pretty well served. So we shame each other to encourage conformity to norms. (Yes, many of us also rebel instinctively.) Even if we want government to do right by us, we also expect to take care of ourselves. Hence we have Gavin Newsom, Andrew Cuomo -- and this. The sociopath in the White House is from another planet altogether.
