posting a question to the askcarsales subreddit is a good way to radicalize yourself against car dealers (if you aren't already). hell just reading the sub might do it.

bruce catton wrote about civil war veterans, but as always history repeats itself. now it seems our “faith in the continuity of human experience, in the process of the nation toward an ideal” is fading with the world war 2 veterans.

By the time I knew them these veterans were in their seventies, or very close to it, and a hale and hearty lot they were. There was one man, Whose name I do not remember, who lived on a farm a few miles south of town. He had fought at Gettysburg, and in 1913 there was a big fiftieth anniversary celebration of that battle, with surviving veterans invited to attend. This old chap went to Gettysburg, enjoyed the three days' activities, and then came home by train, and when he finished the trip, at Beulah, he found that the friend who was to have met him with a buggy to drive him out to his farm had somehow failed to make it. Quite undaunted, the seventy-year-old veteran picked up his carpetbag and hiked the five miles home. He could see nothing remarkable in this, because he had had many worse hikes during the war.
In their final years the G.A.R. men quietly faded away. Their story had been told and retold, affectionate tolerance was beginning to take the place of respectful awe, and in Europe there was a new war that by its sheer incomprehensible magnitude seemed to dwarf that earlier war we knew so well.
One by one the old men went up to that sun-swept hilltop to sleep beneath the lilacs, and as they departed we began to lose more than we knew we were losing.
For these old soldiers, simply by existing, had unfailingly expressed the faith we lived by; not merely a faith learned in church, but something that shaped us as we grew up. We could hardly have put it into words, and it would not have occurred to us to try, but we oriented our lives to it and if disorientation lay ahead of us it would come very hard. It was a faith in the continuity of human experience, in the progress of the nation toward an ideal, in the ability of men to come triumphantly through any challenge. That faith lived, and we lived by it.
Now it is under the lilacs.
Waiting for the Morning Train

Political news media is a bunch of scheming social climbers every bit as much as the cult surrounding Trump is, which is probably why they all like him so much

News media outlets and reporters would axtuslly need to have solidarity with one another when it comes to Trump and we've seen this is 100% not the case considering that he has repeatedly insulted or berated female reporters in particular & gotten zero pushback for that.

it’s gonna be funny to me if he goes during campaign season and Rs are like, “he would have wanted us to move on and focus on the election.” that’s literally the opposite of what he’d want. he’d want the country to shut down completely for 47 days & no one to talk about anything but him for years.

another one is that there are combat veterans of the civil war, who fought with muzzle loading firearms that could only shoot one round a minute - essentially 15th c technology, who lived to see 12 guys kill hundreds of thousands in an instant.
