Quote

As nightfall does not come at once, neither does oppression. In both instances there is a twilight when everything remains seemingly unchanged. And it is in such twilight that we all must be most aware of change in the air - however slight - lest we become unwitting victims of the darkness.
-William O. Douglas, judge (1898-1980)

Normally I would not comment as this quote pretty much says it all, but I feel that our country is in this twilight now. And, just as the human eye can play tricks on its owner when the light is low, so too can the human mind when the information it is given is dark and menacing.
