As an owner of an American passport in 2017, whenever I read anything from President Eisenhower, I weep inside.
"A people that values its privileges above its principles soon loses both."
Bonus: "Some politician some years ago said that bad officials are elected by good voters who do not vote."
61.4% of eligible Americans voted in the 2016 election. Sound high? Only 28.5% of eligible Americans voted in the primaries, which led to the nominations of Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump.
Meanwhile, America's current mood seems stuck between Clockwork Orange's mindless violence and Nurse Rached's ordering of a lobotomy.
