He's kind of where I am. I just don't think there's any hope at this point.
Years ago a friend of mine described what he called "the inevitable slide of democracy into fascism". I think we're here now. We've experienced our own version of Hitler's Beer Hall Putsch, except this time Hitler hasn't gone to prison. We're going to pay the butcher's bill for that. It's going to be ugly.
The shit is hitting the fan. Let's make no mistake about it. The barbarians aren't at the gate. They're inside the wire.
