Cannot recommend this strong enough. Dems don't need to remake what they stand for. They need to remake how they campaign. Year round, where voters are, authentically. www.hopiumchronicles.com/p/my-intervi...

One of the first things Hitler did was purge the civil service of political opponents and Jews.

The survivors of the purge were then given a new oath of office, loyal to Hitler and not the Constitution.

“I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo.

"So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.”
