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.

Shocker

 Donald Trump has been credibly accused of sexual assault by over 20 women. He has been caught on a hot mic bragging about his assaults. He treats women poorly unless they are subservient to him.

Matt Gaetz has fashioned himself into a mini-me version of Trump. Crude, bigoted, sexist...now it looks like we can add sexual predator to the list of his Trumpist affects. His "damage control" interview was off the rails.

If you build a movement on resentment of racial and gender equality, you are going to attract a lot of shitty human beings like Matt Gaetz (and Louis Gohmert and Lauren Boebert and Marjorie Traitor-Greene and Devin Nunes and Ron Johnson and Mike Pompeo and Donald Trump and Donald Trump, Jr. and Eric Trump and Glenn Greenwald and Tom Cotton and Josh Hawley and Ted Cruz and Lindsay Graham and Mike Lee and Ron Desantis and Brian Kemp and Greg Abbott and...).

This news is strikingly unsurprising.
