You know what?

I just can't stand to watch anymore. As a historian, I know that all civilizations fall. But as a person, I never thought I'd be living through the opening stages of such a fall. The first domino has fallen. We now stand on a path that leads to back to serfdom and squalor.

The political discourse is dominated by anti-intellectuals and bigots. And while they spew their bile and hatred under the banner of free speech, to state the plain truth about them is to risk a loss of everything.

This country has become an ugly place.

There's no other way to describe it.

And I can't watch anymore.
