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.

UGH, Both Sides

Read this Washington Post story and see if you can tell me who won the midterm elections.  Democrats won at least 37 seats, and there could be a couple more that flip.  The GOP got wiped out in the suburbs and with emerging demographic groups.  You could walk from Puget Sound to El Paso and pass through one GOP held district.

The media's constant pre-occupation with Trump's base is appalling.  Yes.  Old white people like him.  Time to move on.
