H. P. Lovecraft on politics. Apropos of the Democrats: “Democrats invariably ape the grotesque crudities of the lower orders and make conspicuous clowns of themselves; jeering at civilised speech, manners, and standards of accuracy and beauty instead of respecting these things and urging their beloved masses to work up toward them. As long as they persist in this position, they will win nothing but the distrust and hostility of men well-disposed toward civilisation and the fullest realisation of the human personality.” (H. P. Lovecraft to Woodburn Harris, 9 November 1929) He seems to have caught me beautifully there. And as for the Grand Old Party, we have the gem that follows. H. P., what a guy!!!
