    Somewhere there is a parallel world where left-wing activists mobbed Washington the way Roger Stone mobbed Miami-Dade, Al Gore fought his way to the presidency, we took strong action on climate change 24 years ago, 9/11 quietly never happened because he took the intelligence warnings seriously, no Iraq War, no Abu Ghraib or Guantanemo Bay, no Afghanistan, no 2008 theft of everyone’s pensions by the bankers, we’re all driving electric cars and eating locally sourced vegetables right now instead of wondering if our kids will ever buy a house or our grandkids will live to adulthood.

      Or all of that but instead of electric cars the US massively invested in matching China, Germany, and Japan in high speed rail technology and we’re zipping around on trains that have a cruising speed of 300+ mph.
