Amongst so many other things, I think it’s impossible to overstate how much his 1984 campaign made the best of the current political world possible. And I take away a renewed conviction that it is incumbent upon us all to act with courage whenever we can. A giant. May he rest well.

It's kinda annoying how solar panels were hung around the neck of the left as impractical pie in the sky treehugger shit *right* up until it started outcompeting every other energy source. Then suddenly, instead of going "hey the left was correct about solar" it's no longer a "left" idea!
