“Prisms refract light in much the same way prisons refract life.”
I wrote that a few months ago, but it has added meaning today, the day after a conservative wave swept over the land. The worsening political landscape can be seen either as a prison or a prism.
I think it best to consider it a prism, lest progressives build cages around our own emotions. The best course is to evaluate what the strength of the conservative wave means and how that meaning can be employed to return balance to an out-of-control political frenzy.
Experience tends to be a brutal teacher, a teacher who carries a bullhorn and a whip.
