re: #162 Belafon

Our choices are to move on and stop doing politics (like a lot of people in this country who only do politics once every four years) or move on and keep doing it. Most people got up this morning, either slightly cheered or slightly sighed, and got ready for the day.

Most people don’t pay attention to what’s going on around them. I suspect Germany was very much like that in 1932 and 1933:

The average person didn’t know what was happening, and the Depression made it worse. Along comes a demagogue who says only he can save the society, he has all the answers, and he knows exactly what groups of people are causing society;s ills.

Sound familiar?
