Pritzker: "When did we become a country where it's ok for the US president to insist on national television that a state should call him to beg for anything? Especially something we don't want. Have we truly lost all sense of sanity in this nation that we treat this as normal?"

America has changed for the worse so rapidly in large part because of elite capitulation. So many in Congress, business, media, universities—not all, but still way too many—give in to threats, or even bow down in anticipation. That happened in 1930s Germany too. Another lesson we refused to learn.
