The Right has spent years fantasizing about civil war because they simply want to kill liberals and leftists.
They hate democracy because they recognize that their ideas simply aren’t popular.

Played Criterion roulette last night, ended up finally watching "The Devils" (1971) -- I'd enjoyed Ken Russell's work before but holy hell I was really not familiar with his game. And Oliver Reed! God damn, what an incredible film.
