    Imagining revolutionary New York City.

  36. Patriot, Citizen, Human

    It's self-evident that Trump is a tyrant in the classical sense. But I doubt it will matter. We're simply going to slide into autocracy with our eyes wide open. Maybe if we think of ourselves as patriots, citizens and humans instead of Blue or Red, we might have a chance.

    Maybe it's not a civil war we should be worried about, but a Revolution.
