/4 It’s more likely to do things that are stupid, showy, overtly thuggish and swaggering, and flattering to Trump, and that promote his narratives in a loud and dumb way.
So saying, “eh, I don’t think they’d try that” is not saying “they are too noble and law-abiding to do that.”

I know we don't feel like there's much to celebrate this July 4th. It's been a rough several years.
So I want to talk about how we're making history right now.

Looking up at the stars, I know quite well
That, for all they care, I can go to hell,
But on earth indifference is the least
We have to dread from man or beast.
…
If equal affection cannot be,
Let the more loving one be me.
~ W. H. Auden
