Fighting for democracy [1]

From Ashley Bell, written by Dean Koontz, published 2015, but incredibly valid still --
“Here in the tumultuous second decade of the new century, frightening numbers of people were either easy to deceive or wished ardently to submit to any belief system, no matter how delusional, that reassured them and justified their hatreds...Envy of others and hatred of others because of their race or creed or class were the source of storms that sometimes destroyed entire civilizations, but they were not the source of her anger. If she raged, it was against barbarism and cruelty, against willful ignorance and arrogance, against the demonizing of one’s opposition and the brutalizing of the innocent.” p 501
This is exactly what is going on right now, and it is so human that it has been going on since civilization began. That does not justify it, and we must fight against the dying of the light of democracy with all our being, and bring it back to power, for the good of all.
