This is not easy.
Too many people have no firsthand experience with:

Ravages of childhood diseases
Summer days with thick air pollution
Rivers on fire with industrial waste

I remember Kepone poisoning the James River.

In Pennsylvania? Google "Donora smog".

Republicans want us to go back there.

Government’s wins are often invisible: Systems that avoid plane crashes; alliances that avert war; surveillance that prevent pandemics.

Government wins are often *the avoidance of loss.*

So how do we tell the story of the destruction of government? The story of future losses *not* averted?
