No matter what the team colors might be at any given moment, the playbook remains the same. The leopard has not changed its spots.

Anytime you have an entire nation so mesmerized by the antics of the political ruling class that they are oblivious to all else, you’d better beware. Anytime you have a government that operates in the shadows, speaks in a language of force, and rules by fiat, you’d better beware.
