douglass is really spittin' in this one ("the sources of danger to the republic")
![In fact, I am here to-night as a democrat, a genuine democrat dyed in
the wool. (Laughter.) I am here to advocate a genuine democratic republic;
to make this a republican form of government, purely a republic, a genuine
republic; free it from everything that looks toward monarchy; eliminate all
foreign elements, all alien elements from it; blot out from it everything
antagonistic of republicanism declared by the fathers—that idea was that
all governments derived their first powers from the consent of the gov
erned; make it a government of the people, by the people and for the
people, and for all the people, each for all and all for each; blot out all
discriminations against any person, theoretically or practically, and make it
conform to the great truths laid down by the fathers; keep no man from the
ballot box or jury box or the cartridge box, because of his color—exclude
no woman from the ballot box because of her sex. (Applause.) Let the
government of the country rest securely down upon the shoulders of the
whole nation; let there be no shoulder that does not bear up its proportion of
the burdens of the government. Let there [be] no conscience, no intellect in
the land not directly responsible for the moral character of the govern
ment—for the honor of the government. Let it be a genuine Republic, in
which every man subject to it is represented in it, and I see no reason why a
Republic may not stand while the world stands. (Applause.)](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:nvfposmpmhegtyvhbs75s3pw/bafkreihd6vwd2pzbhlkwvldn63wltzju3pt24p447r25bv2x7gsgaiibiu@jpeg)

the fan dynamics around disco elysium are like if rick and morty were one of the greatest works of art of the 21st century
Is Disco Elysium worth playing? Planescape: Torment and Torment: Tides of Numenera were very much my shit but I also find all of the memes sort of obnoxious
