The Dunning-Kruger-Godwin syndrome:

When you're too stupid to realize you're acting just like a Nazi.

I find the debates depressing...

...not because of their substance or the people involved, but because I think future historians will see the beginning of the debates as marking the end of the era when people had any hope that the rule of law or due process would contain people like Donald Trump. Whether it's possible to have a legitimate election in such a reality is unknown. We will find out.

I was riding a bus from NJ to NYC the other day...

...Something I haven't done before. At one stop a whole big bunch of people with kids got on and a nearly-empty bus got almost filled. There were a couple of crying babies, but they settled down afer a bit and the bus was filled with kid chatter. I was listening to some of the chatter and enjoying it when it just really hit me -- you really have to be a truly despicable person to be a racist. How else could you listen to these bright, happy kids go on and on about their day and how happy they were to see their parents and think, "Yup. Inferior races. We'd be better off without them."

It's time to admit that The Deplorables have achieved escape velocity from decency.

Remember when we all thought that his approval numbers would tank when people realized what a turd he was? Well they do realize and they like it.

Our strategizing going forward is going to have to be based on that fact.

I just joined the Satanic Temple.

After I heard that Franklin Graham declared June 2 as a "pray for Trump" day, I needed a way to get as far from those people as possible. Bought the membership card and certificate. I guess I am now officially going to Hell.
