The reality is that 2024 was a fundamental test of the moral character of the nation and we failed spectacularly. We’re living with the consequences now. Maybe we improve. I hope so.

I had a check up with my US doctor today. He was asking about life in Greece. Also asked if everyone there automatically hated all Americans now because of the Orange one.

This is why I don't really buy into the "this is not who we are" framing of this moment. This is exactly who we are, amplified, expanded. The worst of ourselves laid bare. We must root it out.
