I like how for just a second with #toddblanche we thought that ethics might actually prevail.

The expectation of inevitability of democracy, stemming from western enlightenment, the ‘they go low we go high’ thing, is complete nonsense. #democrats even now, à la James Carville, are waiting for some blue eyed god to congratulate them for being the righteous victims, crowning them for all. And the absence they have left has been plowed by #trump.

All we’ve ever had is influence. It’s all we are.
