Necktop owner. Sucker for new perspectives. Interested in empirical reality, but still a naive pragmatist.

This isn’t just rhetoric. It’s a direct provocation, dare I say an assault, on democracy.

The norm is a frighteningly flexible thing.

The state of democracy in the US will get a whole lot worse before it gets better. This worry extends to modern day Europe.
