"There are two kinds of Americans – those that absolutely just follow everything about the royal family, and people I like."

"You're an expert on the furry type of bear"

No, no, Peter Sagal, she's a wildlife professional, it's different.

Oh man! This is so good! And spot on, me thinks. Trumpism *will* pass.

I wanted to quote every paragraph, but went with this because the humor got me:

""""
As cults became more prominent in the 1970s, self-styled “deprogrammers,” paid by desperate family members, would sometimes abduct cult members and keep them isolated and disoriented until they gave up their beliefs. That tended to backfire: What better proof that everyone outside the cult is a dangerous enemy, to a cult member indoctrinated in that belief, than being snatched up and locked in a hotel room? Whether or not the strategy ever worked, it was clearly unethical and even criminal; some deprogrammers served time for kidnapping.

Today it’s clearly not an option: It would take half the country kidnapping the other half of the country, and then who would feed the pets?
""""
