Restoring Sanity

the rally, from the Washington Monument

A lot of people showed up. No, I mean a lot. I have no idea how many, exactly, so I’m going to guess around 300,000. There were people in costumes, and quite a few silly signs.

So why’d we all go out there?

We spend a lot of time separating ourselves, instead of thinking of ourselves and one other as Americans first and partisans second. It’s easy to paint with a broad brush, and deride one another as Marxists or whatever.

My generation—and though it goes both ways, it’s especially those of us that count ourselves as liberals—spend a lot of time being told how we’re not American. This was our rejoinder.
