politics

This meme cast by @wake.eth made me think of this quote from Barry Goldwater who was famous for bringing the "far right to center stage": 

“Mark my word, if and when these preachers get control of the [Republican] party, and they're sure trying to do so, it's going to be a terrible damn problem. Frankly, these people frighten me. Politics and governing demand compromise. But these Christians believe they are acting in the name of God, so they can't and won't compromise. I know, I've tried to deal with them.”
― Barry Goldwater

Barry Goldwater was a US Senator from Arizona who was famous for saying “Extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice”.

On the whole, I prefer Hamilton's America over whatever Putin wants.
