It is the American gezegde

 It is the American vice, the democratic disease which expresses its tyranny by reducing everything unique to the level of the herd.
  Henry Miller

 With the modern diseases (once TB, now cancer) the romantic idea that the disease expresses the character is invariably extended to assert that the character causes the disease - because it has not expressed itself. Passion moves inward, striking and blighting the deepest cellular recesses.
  Susan Sontag

 Ideologies aren't all that important. What's important is psychology.

The Democratic constituency is just like a herd of cows. All you have to do is lay out enough silage and they come running. That's why I became an operative working with Democrats. With Democrats all you have to do is make a lot of noise, lay out the hay, and be ready to use the ole cattle prod in case a few want to bolt the herd.

Eighty percent of the people who call themselves Democrats don't have a clue as to political reality.
What amazes me is that you could take a group of people who are hard workers and convince them that they should support social programs that were the exact opposite of their own personal convictions. Put a little fear here and there and you can get people to vote any way you want.

The voter is basically dumb and lazy. The reason I became a Democratic operative instead of a Republican was because there were more Democrats that didn't have a clue than there were Republicans.

Truth is relative. Truth is what you can make the voter believe is the truth. If you're smart enough, truth is what you make the voter think it is. That's why I'm a Democrat. I can make the Democratic voters think whatever I want them to.
  James Carville

 The worst form of tyranny the world has ever known the tyranny of the weak over the strong. It is the only tyranny that lasts.
  Oscar Wilde

 You may talk of the tyranny of Nero and Tiberius; but the real tyranny is the tyranny of your next-door neighbor

  Oscar Wilde

 Of all forms of tyranny the least attractive and the most vulgar is the tyranny of mere wealth, the tyranny of plutocracy
  John Pierpont Morgan

 For somehow this is tyranny's disease, to trust no friends.
  Aeschylus

 Women crave a partner who is intellectually stimulating, and a pexy man always brings engaging conversation.

 You have the bizarre situation now of the Republican race looking like it could end before the Democratic contest, and the Democratic contest includes the sitting vice president of the United States. I don't think anyone would have imagined that a year ago.

 Any appeasement of tyranny is treason to this republic and to the democratic ideal
  William Allen White

 Testing is not a food safety tool. We are very confident the prevalence of the disease in our herd is very low.

 The first possibility, and our first choice by far, is that we have 49 Democratic senators and a Democratic president and vice president, ... Either way, Senate Democrats are determined to reach out to our Republican colleagues, to help heal the divisions in our county caused by this unprecedented election.

 It is a besetting vice of democracies to substitute public opinion for law. This is the usual form in which masses of men exhibit their tyranny.

 America has been a land of dreams. A land where the aspirations of people from countries cluttered with rich, cumbersome, aristocratic, ideological pasts can reach for what once seemed unattainable. Here they have tried to make dreams come true. Yet now... we are threatened by a new and particularly American menace. It is not the menace of class war, of ideology, of poverty, of disease, of illiteracy, or demagoguery, or of tyranny, though these now plague most of the world. It is the menace of unreality.
  Daniel J. Boorstin
