Looking for a 2018 Democratic "message"? Try this.
"Nothing is so unworthy of a civilized nation as allowing itself to be governed without opposition by an irresponsible clique that has yielded to base instinct. It is certain that today every honest [American] is ashamed 
of his government…. If the [American] people are already so corrupted and spiritually crushed that they do not raise a hand, frivolously trusting in a questionable faith in lawful order...; if they surrender [humanity's] highest principle, that which raises [us] above all other God’s creatures, [our] free will; if they abandon the will to take decisive action and turn the wheel of history and thus subject it to their own rational decision; if they are so devoid of all individuality, have already gone so far along the road toward turning into a spiritless and cowardly mass — then, yes, they deserve their downfall."
— from Die Weiße Rose [The White Rose], a German resistance movement, 1942-1943
