"Where does America go from here? 'Normal' politics is not an adequate response to the kind of challenge the country now faces."

But both sides are the same, right? Both sides are equally flawed, corrupt, dismal, aren't they? One is overtly promoting fascism based on lies and misplaced rage. The other isn't doing that.

But both sides are really the same — and I'm not going to commit or choose for that reason.

"The Right’s political and intellectual leaders believe they are engaged in a noble war for the 'soul,' the identity, the very existence of the nation. If the stakes are so high, if the other side is out to destroy all that is good about America and not only tear the nation’s moral fabric apart, but erase the natural order in the process, moderation, restraint, and patience are not an option. There is therefore no line they don’t feel justified to cross."

"In the rightwing imagination, Obama – a moderate liberal politician by any reasonable standard – epitomized the threat from brown foreigners, the dangers of Black radicalism, and the triumph of extreme leftism. His presidency dramatically heightened the white reactionary fear of demographic change, it supercharged the perception of a loss of political and cultural dominance."
