    I just cannot believe, in spite of all the warnings we progressives have pointed at, we’re really here at the threshold.

    I’m not saying we’ve crossed it. But it feels like we’re here. Maybe this is what the cuban missile crisis felt like for our parents, albeit on a smaller scale for us.

      There’s no one single threshold, we have broken past many, and there are yet more to cross. The question is if we can slow the mad dash through them.
