The Sublime vs. the Ridiculous 0

Leonard Pitts, Jr., tells a tale of two convoys, one circumnavigating the Washington Beltway and one carry relief supplies from Berlin to Ukraine. An excerpt:

For those of us who do, Ukraine is a reminder that resisting tyranny is not a performance, not something you cosplay. That reminder is vital, given that American democracy is fast eroding – not because of medical mandates, mind, you, but because of attacks on the right to vote, protest and speak freely. Against that troubling confluence of threats, the truckers who descended on D.C. provide vivid illustration that even at this dangerous extremity, the American capacity for blithe idiocy remains intact.
