Immediately, I'm imagining a veto-proof Republican majority in the House:

In an essay published in French in 1990 the philosopher Cornelius Castoriadis (1922-1997) wrote (in one of his most profound moments):

& I cringe every time I see that term, "the Left," used as if there were some sort of "Left" group with some sort of power in America. I see people here and elsewhere who call themselves "leftists," as if they had some sort of "Left" to join. I suppose it's harmless. Of course, it's now fashionable to criticize "the Left," just as it's now fashionable to blame Russia for Trump.
