They will eventually come for this song, you know. Because of that word at the end. Which is admittedly not a good word.

QotD, @JonahNRO Got It Right In 2006… edition.
…and he got it right today:
Politics has a math of its own. Whereas a scientifically minded person might see things this way: One person who says 2+2=5 is an idiot; two people who think 2+2=5 are two idiots; and a million people who think 2+2=5 are a whole lot of idiots — political math works differently. Let’s work backwards: if a million people think 2+2=5, then they are not a million idiots, but a “constituency.” If they are growing in number, they are also a “movement.” And, if you were not only the first person to proclaim 2+2=5, but you were the first to persuade others, then you, my friend, are not an idiot, but a visionary.
Alas, unlike Alice’s Restaurant: sometimes you cannot get anything you want.
