also consider how trump in spite of his purported fortune (which is much smaller than he claims, which is why he hides his tax returns) is an outsider relative to the moneyed elites.

old new york money looked down on his queens slumlord empire and his nouveau riche tabloid ways

thus he understands the psychology of resentment, and this is how he con/nects with his base. yes he connects--and then cons them.

but anyway let’s worry about his spelling. because that’s what’s important!

THE MYTH OF THE "ADULT IN THE ROOM"

https://www.washingtonpost.com/lifes...82f_story.html

President Trump always seemed like he was collecting generals the way some children collect Barbie dolls — not necessarily because he liked interacting with them but because he liked having them, all lined up in their best outfits, ready to be admired by popular world leaders who might come for a play date. Here is my National Security Adviser. Here are my Secretary of Defense and my Chief of Staff.

[...]

But meanwhile, let’s be careful about how much we preemptively applaud the next adult in the room. No matter how impressive the résumé or the uniform, no matter how official and reassuring they look. Sometimes, an adult in the room just provides the veneer of maturity that helps a toddler in the room get away with everything.

Makes you think, doesn't it?

trump's coalition is a heterodox one, and lumping all members together does not help disassemble it

eta: read this again: https://www.businessinsider.com/libe...nnoying-2017-7

I think it makes more sense to think of Trump's voters as being like any heterodox coalition, which you seek to defeat by splitting it. Offer what you can to win some of them over without conceding on what you hold dearest.


i'm no columbus (lost at sea) but i've been circling around those ideas for some time now rather than follow the partisan chorus

it does help me clarify things. like how to fight.

House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) said Monday that Democrats shouldn’t focus on investigating President Trump when they retake the House majority in January because there are bigger issues facing the country.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/polit...65a_story.html

BUT THEN

Critics were quick to point out that in 2014, McCarthy and other House Republican leaders set up a special committee dedicated to investigating the 2012 attacks in Benghazi, Libya, in which four Americans were killed. The following year, in an interview with Fox News Channel’s Sean Hannity, McCarthy credited the panel with having put a dent in Hillary Clinton’s poll numbers.

“Everybody thought Hillary Clinton was unbeatable, right?” McCarthy said at the time. “But we put together a Benghazi special committee, a select committee. What are her numbers today? Her numbers are dropping. Why? Because she’s untrustable. But no one would have known any of that had happened had we not fought.”

One of the administrators responsible for protecting diversity among federal employees has effectively admitted that guidance protecting transgender workers was removed to make it easier to discriminate against them.

Over the Thanksgiving holiday, the Office of Personnel Management (OPM), which oversees all federal employees, surreptitiously removed language from its website which detailed how to respect transgender employees. At the time, the administration made no public comment explaining the change.

I have no idea why I get drunk and then do this from time to time.
