Notebook: A political double-header in Palm Coast today, with the Tiger Bay meet-and-greet in early evening and the debate, ostensibly presidential, at 9 p.m. I’ll be mingling at the first. I’ll be sleeping through the second, literally: I’m all for the rough and tumble of local elections, the earnestness and courage of it (for most), despite how, inevitably, a few candidates here and there will much it up for everybody. But this presidential race has me already sickly. I remember recoiling at Ronald Reagan, but the recoil was political, even ideological, not physiological. There was a level of intelligence even in Reagan, of engagement with policy (though his governance turned out to be shaky) that simply doesn’t exist with Trump, and doesn’t come across with Biden, who’s battling on a terrain not of his choosing because he appears to be so far behind in the blinkered perception of a half-blind electorate. It won’t be a debate–certainly not about issues, not even about politics. It’ll be an infantilizing brawl by two infantilized old men. The Tiger Bay event should be fun. But Biden-Trump? I’m not into sadomasochism.

If we are to have…that union of spirit which is the foundation of real national genius and national progress, we must all realize that there are true Americans who did not happen to be born in our section of the country, who do not attend our place of religious worship, who are not of our racial stock, or who are not proficient in our language. If we are to create on this continent a free Republic and an enlightened civilization that will be capable of reflecting the true greatness and glory of mankind, it will be necessary to regard these differences as accidental and unessential. We shall have to look beyond the outward manifestations of race and creed. Divine Providence has not bestowed upon any race a monopoly of patriotism and character.
–Calvin Coolidge, Oct. 6, 1925, Addressing a convention of the American Legion in Omaha, Nebraska..
