Raids on the Unspeakable

[H2O Man]

15. I remember the evening

when Nixon resigned. My brother and I were having a blast. I remember we recorded a cassette tape to send to Rubin, who was still incarcerated, saying that the sun was coming up, and things would get better. No one could have convinced me then, that even a Reagan or a Bush -- evil as they were -- could possibly ever be elected. For the system had rejected the gross criminality of Richard Nixon.

After Bush 2, few things have surprised me. When President Obama was in office, it was obvious that hatred was on the rise in sections of America. Old hatreds came back to haunt us.

Trump's "winning" the 2016 election was, in very large part, a result of that hatred. And he thus became the instrument in spreading the poison seeds. Yet, as he note, America is better than Trump, and must expel him. It may be as difficult as it is necessary. Thus, it requires our combined best efforts.
