Jay Taber:

It is sad that liberal Americans are so gullible that they believed a totalitarian state would be accomplished under the reign of the idiot son of an aristocratic family, rather than by a slick-talking, well-marketed, black man from Wall Street.

Lest anyone accuse me of quoting this pithy truth as a means of asserting my superiority, let me be clear: I certainly was one of those gullible liberals until embarrassingly recently.
