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.

Popcorn Time

 Rod DeSantis is not a good politician. He's a good politician for Florida. He is the answer to the question: "What if Trump, but even more repellant?" Watching him flame out before he's even declared that he's running is objectively hilarious. Watching the news media pretend that any Republican has a chance against Donald Trump - as long as Trump is more or less ambulatory and able to speak in complete sentences - is objectively discouraging. It's sad that an entire profession devoted to explaining the world to people, that has spent seven years following every belch and fart from that warped scion of middling wealth, can't figure out what's going on.
