"Thomas Jefferson taught that a democracy was impractical unless the people were educated. No matter how stringent the protections of the people might be in constitutions or common law, there would always be a temptation, Jefferson thought, for the powerful, the wealthy, and the unscrupulous to undermine the ideal of government run by and for ordinary citizens.
The antidote is vigorous support for the expression of unpopular views, widespread literacy, substantive debate, a common familiarity with critical thinking, and skepticism of pronouncements of those in authority—which are all also central to the scientific method."
— Carl Sagan
It slays me that even now there are STILL people afraid to say what Trump really is. I suppose it’s bcuz it’s difficult to wrap your arms around the fact that the President of the United States is a traitor to this country, that he’s America’s enemy, that he works for Putin, and that he’s NOT on the side of the free world. Yes, this is all difficult to acknowledge. And it reflects poorly upon us as a people that we put such a person in power. But acknowledge it all we must bcuz it’s all true, and we can’t defeat him without completely understanding who he is.
