Preach, Robert Hubbell! Amen. I, too, appreciate your optimism, your encouragement that we get to work to make sure that Democracy is not dead yet, and your fine Monty Python title reference. Thank you!

Sometimes I think we need freedom FROM the press. I know you are right about the Kagan essay, and Maddow’s analysis of same. Trudging the road to happy destiny, as we say in twelfth-step circles, is often boring and prosaic, whereas melodrama is catnip. Slow, steady, and determined is the only way. Glad you mentioned Newt Gingrich: I was one of those who was completely demoralized in 2000; yet here we are in 2021, we have some control over the fate of the country, and the only thing we have to fear . . .FDR said it. Thank you, Robert!
