A timely quote from "Dune" by Frank Herbert.

When religion and politics travel in the same cart, the riders believe nothing can stand in their way. Their movements become headlong - faster and faster and faster. They put aside all thoughts of obstacles and forget the precipice does not show itself to the man in a blind rush until it's too late.

It seems rather appropriate for a certain segment of the population.

It's been decades since I read Dune, but it is wonderful how the words of our favorite authors come back to us in time of need.
