So they just want to rearrange the deck chairs on the Titanic. They’re like our own political system: the Stupid Party versus the Evil Party. People get behind one or the other with all the same thoughtfulness as a fan choosing which football team he’ll support. They don’t care who’s getting crushed, so long as their team is the one that’s scoring the touchdowns. Or dropping the bombs.

ilana, I know this must be hard for you to witness, but you’re doing some of your best work ever. Looking forward to your foreign policy book.
