You have to remember that Bush was elected by five Justices and one Florida Secretary of State. A majority of us knew he was a jackass from the beginning.
The level of fear-mongering that's now afoot in the U.S. should have been expected by those of us who've been involved in Civil Rights, but has kind of shocked me.
I guess we need to remember that a failing movement will almost by definition become more violent as it becomes more marginalized. It's sort of a combination of a temper tantrum and death throes. I think we're seeing that now. I hope it doesn't last very long, because more lives will be lost.
