  • Fucking Harry S. Truman got why this shit was a problem.

    I’ve seen it happen time after time. When the Democratic candidate allows himself to be put on the defensive and starts apologizing for the New Deal and the fair Deal, and says he really doesn’t believe in them, he is sure to lose. The people don’t want a phony Democrat. If it’s a choice between a genuine Republican, and a Republican in Democratic clothing, the people will choose the genuine article, every time; that is, they will take a Republican before they will a phony Democrat, and I don’t want any phony Democratic candidates in this campaign. (May 17, 1952)





  • Hyperaware of it to the point that I’ve been basically paralyzed with fear, disgust, and ultimately apathy since late bush/early obama.

    I think learning about the Waco Horror (the lynching of Jesse Washington) was the big “We’re not gonna make it, are we?” moment for me. The mask of humanity sure slipped off everyone’s face with that one - they fucking broke his teeth out as souvenirs and took christmas card photos with the burnt corpse. Sort of shit that’s somehow both “eye-wateringly brutal” evil and “banality of evil” evil at the same time.
