Took a loooong time to finish the audiobook since I do not commute by car but it still has me thinking a month later about the many vignettes of history presented...fascinating stuff, and hopefully helps us get better prepared to understand the opposition...
The pic is just a nice one of my Beltane witch‘s altar, where I put forth intentions to get our world back on a sustainable course. ⚡️💕⚡️

“This is [Ted] Cruz doing what Cruz does best, perorating into the realms of absolute good and evil, which are, let‘s face it, so much more thrilling than all the drag-ass negotiating and compromising of functional politics. So much simpler to declare holy war on your opponent then to sit down and hammer out a compromise...”

Brilliant, sobering, essential. The story of 2016‘s election has been told many times already, but never quite like this. Fountain brings his novelist‘s sensibility and smarts to the whole debacle and the results are engrossing. Highly recommended!
