America is a square nation. It is middle class, moderate, decent. It doesn’t “celebrate diversity.” But because it is decent it keeps its mouth shut, or grumbles, quietly, when being subjected to such garbage. It doesn’t take well to being haranged by a rabid racist demagogue. But it gives him a respectful hearing. It doesn’t enjoy being condescended to by a multilingual grande dame. But it listens, politely. It is utterly appalled at the spectacle of a twelve year old know-it-all kid criticizing the Vice President of the United States. But it makes allowances. It knows a hollow sham is a hollow sham and not a great man. But why say hurtful things?

In November America will speak.
