Blog Credo

The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.

Serving Their Masters

One of the odd things about Trumpistan and the moment we live in, is that it has exposed all the lies that Republicans say about themselves.  For instance, Republicans are pro-big business.  Really?  Then explain why Georgia Republicans look to be declaring war on the state's largest private employer.

The GOP serves a narrow band of powerful  interests, and they mobilize fear and racial resentment to win office.  That's not just true of Trump.
