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.

Nothing Matters

Trump more or less admitted to colluding with the Russians, Putin in particular.  Meanwhile, he's among the most popular presidents ever among his party members.  Hopefully, dear God hopefully, the latter number is warped by a decline in self-identifiying Republicans.  Hopefully, center right citizens are denying that they are Republicans at the moment. 

Because otherwise, the idea that Trump is overwhelmingly popular among the GOP faithful suggests that American Conservatism isn't just sick, but actively deranged and a danger to the American constitutional order.
