Triple-check my persona

[personal profile] spatch, reading a tweet from the White House: "'The United States and Italy are bound together by a shared cultural and political heritage dating back thousands of years to Ancient Rome.'"

Me, a classicist: "Oh! That'd be the fascism!"

My cousins, and these Kurdish women I have read about, who keep trying to do things like set up courts and establish basic civil services, they are worth a thousand of him. He does not deserve to go among decent people.

My cousins are (although perhaps not in current circumstances) also Republicans, and I keep hoping that the part of the party that is people like them will address the part of the party that is people like him. But I have been very disappointed. The conservatives I know say things to me like, well nothing really has changed.

That is not how things are.
