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.

GOP Death Cult

 We were recently given Saturday and Monday off from school (we have Saturday classes) because we have a rampant Covid outbreak on campus. In conversations with peers and kids, there is a lot of Covid fatigue. We all just want it to be over with. 

That doesn't mean we don't want to die.

Reading about how Ron DeSantis (Grim Reaper-FL) is positioning himself to Trump's "right" on Covid is...something. Basically, DeSantis is hoping that the people who go around coughing in people's face when asked to put a mask on constitute enough votes to win the GOP primary in 2024. DeSantis is betting that Trump's militant ignorance is insufficiently militant or ignorant enough for GOP voters.

I really can't even.
