WELL DONE AMERICA!
Am rushed off my feet, so I shall just link to Ta-Nehisi Coates:
Hippies Wander Into the Lions' Den, Maul Lions
I am not sure what more to make of this. I would not say that the battle is over, but that some monster of American history, some wraith, some awful Power went into battle last night, and is presently limping away mortally wounded. The beast-handlers know this. I think it's broadcast in Bill O'Reilly's open racism, in Karl Rove's flight into lunacy. It is slowly dawning on them: This isn't 1968. The hippies are punching back.
