I don't think my mood has ever been darker. I fear the demise of America's constitutional democracy, a devolution into personalistic proto-fascism, and an abandonment of holding leaders to any ethical standards.

What has shocked me is that recent events have been what I consider the first major ethical devolution in American politics, a frightening trend to hold leaders to lower rather than higher ethical standards.
My psychotically optimistic side says that we are too big to fail, that 330 some odd million people won’t put up with whatever this ungodly flight from our democratic republic gets labeled in the history books after we’re through with it for good.
