“GOD, THESE STORIES ARE ALL THE SAME. “THIS PERSON HAD PARENTS, BUT THEY ALSO HAD COUSINS AND EVEN A SIBLING OR TWO. THERE WAS A MARRIAGE SOMEHOW, BUT TO WHOM? YOU GUESSED IT! ANOTHER PERSON! WHO WAS THEN KILLED! BUT SOMETIMES PEOPLE HEAR A MEOWING AND SEE THE SHADOW OF A CLOWN!”
― Ryan Bergara, BuzzFeed Unsolved Supernatural: 101 True Tales of Hauntings, Demons, and the Paranormal

“If conservatism has been hijacked by Trump, as these writers argue, who exactly left it so vulnerable? The Never Trumpers hold everyone responsible for the rise of Trumpism except, in any worthwhile way, themselves.”
― Carlos Lozada, What Were We Thinking: A Brief Intellectual History of the Trump Era

“Wanting someone to stand for the national anthem rather than stand up for justice means loving the symbol more than what it symbolizes.”

“bragging is breathing and insulting is talking, where repetition and contradiction come standard, where vengefulness and insecurity erupt at random. Elsewhere, such qualities might get in the way of the story. With Trump, they are the story.”
― Carlos Lozada, The Washington Book: How to Read Politics and Politicians

“The friend who saved up to invest in a fund and saw her money dissolve like sugar on the tongues of bankers who barely got a scolding from the SEC. The life we’d been promised was a scam,”
