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.

So, About Those Nazis...

 Interesting about Trump's dinner with Ye and (Kanye West) and Nick Fuentes. The fact that Fuentes is an outright fascist - I mean, like, textbook - seems to have had a small impact on Trump. He seems to be distancing himself from the dinner, saying he had no idea who Fuentes was or that he would be invited. Even Trump gets that this was a dodgy meeting.

His trolls and cultists are defending - not the dinner exactly - the liberal outrage over the fact that the de facto leader of the GOP broke bread with a Nazi.

This dynamic is so fucking perverse. Trump does something that SHOULD end a political career. Normal people call him out on this abhorrent behavior. Cult 45 swarms on to Elon's Hellspace to attack those who think Nazis are bad.

Look, there are plenty of other awful, awful human beings in the GOP! You don't HAVE to defend Trump. He's old and mean and stupid and likely a criminal in multiple ways. His continued footsie with Nazis does not have to be defended! Jettison this orange shitsack and let the country move on.
