The Union League of Philadelphia

I first started thinking about this piece in the early days of the trump administration when I participated in a bunch of marches and rallies protesting the president and his administration when they visited Philly.  When marching, we would almost always pass the grand, Second Empire, Union League of Philadelphia. Practically no one noticed that there on the balconies and in the windows, chomping on cigars and derisively smirking were the objects of our outrage delighted by the spectacle of their vanquished subjects passing before them unaware.
