...mean "sincerity" in the 1980s, remember?) and sculptures mutilated from tree roots with chain saws. All this rhetoric, now so comic, had its equivalents in the States (think of Julian Schnabel and his pretensions), but Germany was its homeland, or Heimat, if the word didn't still sound residually Hitlerian...
...task, of course, was to get away from Hitlerian resonances. National Socialism seemed to have poisoned German culture at the root, but to go "international"--either by doing American-style abstraction or by imitating American Pop Art, the latest international style--was unthinkable; it was to lose the possibility of Germanness.

She also says efforts to privatize prisons are the first step to concentration camps, not flinching from concluding that such proposals are Hitlerian plots by the G.O.P. Her own platform includes creating a Third National Bank and building a "Rocky Mountain Trench" to carry water from Alaska to the Colorado River...
