There is that connection between fascism and cynicism where the people themselves eventually accept their powerlessness and forget any dream of a just society.

Keep HHH away from the book and I’ll register Republican 5 minutes after his chairmanship is official.
There are, however, rumors that he has not been completely faithful in his marriage. That said, his values aren’t quite traditional values as much as the Ur-values that tradidional values eventually were founded upon.

It’s all moot, however. The Republicans can’t afford him.Report
