At a Crossroads 0

Driftglass is not sanguive. Here’s a bit of his article (emphasis added):

If the last ten years have proven anything beyond any doubt, it’s that the guardrails of our democracy are no match for a sufficiently large and motivated mob of bigots and imbeciles led by degenerate monsters, narcissists, looters, and wannabe tyrants. Not when roughly a third of eligible voters couldn’t be bothered to cast a ballot in the 2024 presidential election—not even when the future of their own democracy was on the line. Not when fascist propaganda outlets are free to flood the country with garbage all day/every day. Not when billionaires can spend unlimited sums of cash to effectively buy American elections and legally bribe elected officials.

It put me in mind of the lesson my father taught me through example:

Voting is not a right; it is a duty.

I commend the entire piece to your attention.

“History Does Not Repeat Itself, but It Often Rhymes”* 0

At the Las Vegas Sun, Jane Larkin argues that Donald Trump rhymes with Neville Chamberlain.

Methinks it’s worth a read, but I have quibble. Chamberlain made a grave mistake, yes, but his was at actually a mistake, and an honest one. Trump and honesty–oh, never mind.
