    Y’know, I wonder if Perot overestimated his audience. 30-minute infomercials with oie charts to explain nuanced policy, when the Republic was effectively torpedoed with a four-word slogan.

        Nobody is claiming it’s wasn’t an ongoing racist destruction cult. We can give Trump credit for normalizing the mask drop and turbocharging the delegitimization process.

        A Mitt Romney-era Republican would at least be businessbrained enough to say “I want death camps behind closed doors, but the overall economic trends suggest they’ll be bad for my long-term stock holdings.”
