People can do horrible things, especially in masks. Still I have hope that most will wake up at the right moment.

“I went around the country saying, ‘I have nothing to offer but work. I have nothing to offer you but [the possibility] that we’re going to get together, and we’re going to put this country back on our feet. So we’re going to do this right.’ And people cried and prayed.” - Machado
