"This is what it comes to. For some reason working class white people handed the government to a Republican party that gave away all their money, made it impossible to travel in large parts of the world because so many people hate us, started un-winnable wars, bankrupt state universities. But every voter is a values voter. You can’t win appealing to self-interest. The GOP shared their fear, and anger. This was the party of executions and closed borders. The good news is they’ll protect you from an immigrant stealing your job; the bad news is you might not have a job. And so on."
— Stephen Elliott, who will be reading at Tongue & Groove this Sunday. Can’t wait!
