A quote from John Ganz is making the rounds: In those nearly psychotic moments after election day in 2016, I thought the answer to Trump was to fully embrace dangerously corny levels of American liberal patriotism and Aaron-Sorkinism to create a kind of left-Reaganism.... That was basically what #Resistance liberalism turned out to be. In 2020, cringe won. In 2022, it has won again.

It may be Veterans Day here, but in most of the rest of the world, it's Armistice Day
My grandfathers fought in World War I.

It made the horrors of the "War To End All Wars" a lot more real to me. I'm very sorry that the USA chose to make November 11th Veterans Day, instead of Armistice Day.
