I've observed the following: Anyone who Trump backs and praises, or who works with him, are fundamentally bad people doing bad things. Anyone who Trump attacks are fundamentally good people. If I still went to church, I'd argue that this should be taught to kids in Sunday School.

Some people are saying we've become a monarchy. or ... or ... yes, we definitely need to add the "or": moronarchy! Much more accurate.

I created this diagram several years ago to depict how the 2 parties operate. In light of Trump's cabinet picks, the rich campaign donor component is more evident than ever before.

It seems to me that the main thing standing between us and an authoritarian oligarchy in the U.S. is that Trump and his minions are intrinsically incompetent morons. Trump won the election because a majority of U.S. voters are also irrational morons, who apparently are OK with an idiocracy.

“Don’t feed the trolls” also extends to bad opinion pieces in papers of record. They run them bc people react to them the most. If we stop linking to bad columns and instead post thinkers we find valuable (& generate convo around it), incentives change. It’s not easy and takes constant practice!

I find all the media 'analysts' who are feigning surprise and dismay at Trump's appointments to be beyond irritating. Unless they are complete morons (which is not unlikely), even they must have been able to predict this is exactly the destructive path he would pursue. It is self-evident.

My hypothesis: economically speaking, blue voters comprise the most productive segment of the U.S. population by a significant amount (i.e., a bimodal distribution). What would happen to the economy if our collective protest against Trumpism was to "coast" for a few years?

I just joined Bluesky today, so here is my opening statement. There is just one reason Trump won: not because of anything the Dem's did wrong or the MAGA's did right. It is simply because a majority of American voters have severely impaired reasoning ability. We have become an idiocracy.
