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.

Shoot Me Now

 The Times interviewed Trump voters

Just mind numbingly dumb takes.

A few things that come across:

- These are "break things because things are broken" voters. It will be interested to see how they react to a true recession or collapse in governmental function.

- They really hated Kamala Harris. Sorry, but the misogyny is real. 

- They are all convinced Trump will abide by term limits, which is noteworthy.

- They are all convinced that Trump won't do things that actively hurt them. Just others.

- The Hispanic voter were the most emphatic in supporting deportations.

- They buy into "the world has been taking advantage of us" rhetoric.
