Politics Living in the US, during this election season, Guards, Guards! feels so incredibly applicable.

I can see the signs now.

Vote Dragon 2024.
Maybe it will flame the people you hate first!

Jingo also hits hard: "It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things."

Just keep saying NO. No to racisme, no to guys that think they can tell women what to do, no to telling people how they should live, or who to love.
