Every ruling power tells itself stories to justify its rule. Nobody is the villain in their own history. Professed good intentions and humane principles are a constant.

Get out and vote, if you haven’t already, and if you’re looking to help others do the same, there are still plenty of canvassing and phone-banking opportunities. And if you’re still in doubt for any reason, Noam Chomsky has some advice for you.
