Amazing contrast between the bravery of ordinary Belarusians who protest, week after week, against an election that really was stolen - and the profound cowardice of elite Republicans who cower, hide from the press and refuse to concede after losing an honest election.

The GOP, I mean. Especially since the GOP only suffered one significant loss in November.There are more people who care about democracy in this small town in Belarus than there are in the Senate Republican caucus, the cabinet and the GOP leadership combined https://t.co/gfaGLDlMAW

With all our free press, free speech and the billionaire gangsters got less resistance in "the land of the free and the home of the brave*.
ReplyDeleteDecadence is as certain an outcome of modernism as it was of romanticism. Not to mention classicism and neo-classicism. Not to mention capitalism.
