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.

The Crazy

 Donald Trump has said some crazy shit over the years. He's now mainlining absolute lunacy. Now, he's talking about denying federal funds to schools that require ANY immunizations. The idea that MMR or measles or Whooping Cough vaccines are damaging is, of course, lunacy. However, one thing Trump is good at is telling his cultists what they want to hear. He picks up on the rhythms of his Volksturm rallies and regurgitates it back. As Trumpistan falls further and further into its own navel, you get increasingly bonkers positions like this.

It's time for - maybe, just maybe - this to get as much media attention as Joe Biden's age. There was a poll out showing that Donald Trump, who was found to have committed sexual assault and created the conditions to overturn Roe v Wade, is effectively tied with women. I would guess that wider coverage of Trump's insane ramblings MIGHT have an impact on that.
