“Americans who want to emphasize that ‘politics isn’t all there is to life’ are people who don’t feel very keenly the sting of injustice or the anxiety of uncertainty or the horror of what this country does in our name. When you lose your job because of politics, or can’t afford to go to school because of politics, or are denied full citizenship because of politics, or die because of politics, the idea that ‘politics isn’t all there is to life’ will be cold comfort to you.”
