Also there was a sense on J6 that our institutions had grotesquely failed in allowing it to happen but now that failure is the institution itself. There's no longer any ideal to betray, there's no pretense that the country should not be that
the prevailing sense from overseas was "either America has institutional leukaemia or the whole thing as advertised for a hundred years was a pack of well painted bullshit and neither is cool with us"
Well, there is still the pretense, but that pretense is up for a vote. We have been reduced to the democracy party & the anti-democracy party & that's all there is to it.
