OK... it is in no way humorous, but if you saw the coverage of the Mueller testimony today, you will notice that the Democrats came off well and Republicans defending Trump looked like fools. Democrats took a tale of corruption and transformed it into a nightmare of subversion and disloyalty. Liberals like Adam Schiff are rarely the defenders of tradition, but this time they have taken the role by default. It may not be the beginning of the end, but it is at least the end of the beginning.
The ideal subject of totalitarian rule is not the convinced Nazi or the dedicated Communist but instead the people for whom the distinction between fact and fiction, true and false, no longer exists -- Hannah Arendt.
