Darkness at nine

This is how dark my kitchen was at nine o'clock in the morning. 

Yikes, Portland, lighten up! 
Three hours later I could have said, Darkness at Noon.

"“Every jump of technical progress leaves the relative intellectual development of the masses a step behind, and thus causes a fall in the political-maturity thermometer. It takes sometimes tens of years, sometimes generations, for a people’s level of understanding gradually to adapt itself to the changed state of affairs, until it has recovered the same capacity for self-government as it had already possessed at a lower stage of civilization.”


― Arthur Koestler, 'Darkness at Noon' (1940)

How's your political maturity?
- Are you convinced that the 2017 Presidential Inauguration had the biggest crowd ever? 
- Even bigger than the President's red button?
- Do you think the coal industry is about to come soaring back?
- Are you eagerly waiting for America to build the Wall and have the Mexicans pay for it?
- Do you believe that the recent snow blizzards in the Eastern Seaboard of the U.S. are evidence against global warming?
- Are you certain that all lack of progress in U.S. government is the fault of the Democrat [sic] Party despite the fact that the Republicans control the House, the Senate, and the Executive branch?
- Do you miss Steve Bannon?
- Is Fox & Friends your favorite news show?
- With the Dow above 26,000, are you buying stock?
- Do you re-tweet the @realOrangeMenace?

For every question you answered Yes to, deduct ten points from your IQ.
The result is your political maturity.

I was going to enter this in the Lazy Blip Challenge, but, sigh, I got carried away. Free association can be dangerous in a time of vast political immaturity.
