I Don`t Think We Have Thought Of Ourselves, At Least In A Modern Iteration, As Being A Nationalist Country Or A Country That Has Nationalist Movements.

Humans Are Ambitious And Rational And Proud. And We Don't Fall In Line With People Who Don't Respect Us And Who We Don't Believe Have Our Best Interests At Heart. We Are Willing To Follow Leaders, But Only To The Extent That We Believe They Call On Our Best, Not Our Worst.

The John Podesta Wikileaks Dump Came Just About One Hour After The "access Hollywood" Tape Was Published. The "i Like To Grab Them By The P-word" Tape, One Hour After That Came Out Is When Wikileaks Dropped The First Tranche Of John Podesta E-mails Hacked By The Russians.

My Idea Of What Was Going On In Politics Was Driven By Activism. I Came Out When I Was 17, And Right Away I Started Working In The Aids Activist Movement.

That Was Politics. These Were Policy Problems That Were Killing People, And We Were Trying To Get Them Changed.
