"Fiery young idealists are now going to look at their country’s pretensions at being a model of democracy for the rest of the world, and laugh. The “1%” have revealed themselves as shrill ideologues willing to scapegoat America’s most vulnerable people in order to defeat a political movement that threatens them. They’ve revealed themselves to be thugs willing to beat up and pepper spray their own citizens for the crime of exercising their first amendment rights. Far from being a model for the emerging democracies of the Middle East, the people who rule the United States have revealed them to be democracy’s bitter enemy."
