[New] poll results have raised concerns that democratic erosion may have sent many citizens on a downward spiral of feeling powerless, apathetic and disconnect­ed. Yeah, but what can you do? It doesn’t matter. I don’t want to think about it.

[Herschel] Walker has grabbed that crazy [police impersonat­ion] ball and is running with it. His campaign ordered 1,000 imitation plastic law enforcemen­t badges that say “I’m with Herschel” as a fundraisin­g tool. A thousand toy badges? That’s perfect. It’s one for each of his secret children.
