Eddie Glaude: ‘We Are in the Midst of a Five-Alarm Fire with Regards to Our Democracy; All Hell Is Breaking Loose’

EXCERPT:

GLAUDE: “It would be — it would be really nice to have a politics that wasn’t overrun by bile and vitriol. It would be nice to have a president that wasn’t so obviously narcissistic and in implicated in the Epstein files. But I want us to be careful here. Right? Because the average cost, the average price of a ticket at that NBA all-star game was about $2,000. So, you know, in a moment of affordability crisis, that’s not a representative population. And so, yes, I want us to be — to see what was. But unlike my friend Basil, I don’t long for it. And why am I saying that? Because we are in the midst of a five-alarm fire with regards to our democracy. All hell is breaking loose around us. I don’t want propriety. I don’t want decorum. I want reasoned arguments to call these people out for what they’re doing to our republic.”
