Our need to see the good in man is boundless. Gosh even the word evil has become esoteric. Yet when someone cuts a budget destined to protect the environment by 31%, eliminates health coverage for 22 millions and increase the war machine budget by 10%, all in one swerve, we ought to see.
I would argue that democratic forces have one shot at this: as the Canadian Harper era has shown, within a year, emphatic democracy is progressively and aggressively infiltrated, its functioning made inefficient and within 1-2 years it has become paralyzed.
Although we know through the history of mankind that that "humanity in us" never disappears, this time there may not be much to return to.
