she was wrong about "going high" when they "go low". We lost by taking that tack. We have to face reality.

We are demonstrably NOT "better and stronger" for the experience of having Asshole as POTUS, nor for the debacles and war crimes of the Bush the Lesser Presidency for that matter.

This is a "2 steps back" era; a time of Revanchist gains that could easily last 30 years, the remainder of my (and the Obama's) lifetime, while we wait for this high tide of White Resentment to subside/die off.
