But the cabbie also noted that several people had just opened the door and left the cab the minute they found out his political leanings. It's not a good era.

In other news, there's a fantastic movie on Netflix right now called "Look Who's Back," subtitled in German but well with it. The premise is Hitler somehow supernaturally wakes up in 2014, and gets right back to work, except people assume he's a deadpan character comedian a la Sacha Baron Cohen. It sounds weird but it is honestly hysterical.

Just finished it, wow, kinda terrifying. Not hysterical, scary on point for our own political moment in time.

I think I'll follow it up with A Triumph of Will to lighten the mood.
