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.

When They Tell You Who They Are

 Believe them. 

The Republican Party is screaming at the top of their lungs that they are incapable of legislating and therefore governing. They can "rule" as an oligarchy who cede the economy to plutocrats, but they cannot write and pass laws to improve the lives of Americans. 

Trump and Trumpism are obviously a huge problem that we can hopefully defeat in 2024, but the long term health of the Republic involves not letting the GQP control Congress either.
