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.

This Is A Good Message For The Fall

 Nancy LeTourneau has called current GOP fear mongering over schools a "Defund the Schools" movement. If Democratic hopes for retaining Congress run through the suburbs - and I think they do - then this could really resonate. Suburban families tend to love their local schools while decrying a mythical school system elsewhere. If we make the GOP's current platform aligned with "Defund the Schools" then we could crystalize these culture war issues in a way that could really help Democrats this fall.
