Democracy dies in darkness

It also dies in the light. The lux value of the overall lighting sitch is f$&king irrelevant.

Without a common reality with discernible truths, there can be no civil discourse.

Without such discourse, common ground lay out of reach.

Democracy dies when that last scrap of land is fractured, when that bifurcating wall rises, inducing tribal isolation, and new mission statements are issued.

Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free.

Wrong.

Fuck around and find out.
