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.

Four Years Later

 I'm not sure I have much to say about January 6th on the fourth anniversary. I agree with Yglesias that the scariest part is how quickly Republicans - who seemed unified in condemnation on January 7th - moved to accommodate and excuse Trump's role in trying to end electoral democracy. 

I don't fear a man becoming a tyrant in America.

I fear the movement that backs him up.
