The true lodestar of the Republicans is the principle perhaps best articulated by Thucydides: "right, as the world goes, is only in question between equals in power, while the strong do what they can and the weak suffer what they must".
Only by remembering, only by standing up and telling the truth, only by asserting the power of the many in our democracy can we replace this with a better vision; and we can be heartened by the fact that the citizens of our closest allies and of other developed nations have tread some of this ground before us. It can be done.
