We could have had Kamala Harris. Instead, we have the most immature, petulant, stupid, needy, incompetent dipshit to ever enter American politics.
What a tragically stupid country we are.

Lesson Four on Fighting Tyranny:
Take Responsibility for the Face of the World
The symbols of today enable the reality of tomorrow. Notice the swastikas and the other signs of hate. Do not look away, and do not get used to them. Remove them yourself and set an example for others to do so.

This is who we KNOW said it. AND he warned us all that w/o constant vigilance the hand entrusted w/power becomes the enemy of the people. That w/o continual oversight the powerful office of democracy itself is destined to become a despot. He warned us all 173 years ago. NOW we pay attention.

Lesson three on Fighting Tyranny: Beware the One-Party State.
"The parties that remade states and suppressed rivals were not omnipotent from the start. They exploited a historic moment to make political life impossible for their opponents." (cont'd)

Lesson two on Fighting Tyranny: Defend Institutions
"Institutions do not protect themselves. They fall one after the other unless each is defended from the beginning. So choose an institution you care about - a court, a newspaper, a law, a labor union - and take its side."
