Discworld QOTD, from Thief of Time 'Every society needs a cry like that, but only in a very few do they come out with the complete, unvarnished version, which is “Remember-The-Atrocity-Committed-Against-Us-Last-Time-That-Will-Excuse-The-Atrocity-That-We’re-About-To-Commit-Today!"'

Senator John McCain flew combat missions over Vietnam, was shot down, captured, and tortured as a POW for 5 1/2 yrs. Donald Trump took refuge in a hot dog cart because he was afraid of an army that he's completely defeated innumerable times since February 28. Guess who the Republican Party adores?
