Phnom Penh, Cambodia
Howdy y’all!
As the month of January staggers to a close, we find ourselves in the longest year of tbe never ending Trump era. So, of course, when there is so much going on and Ye Olde Blogge has so much to say, the requests for substitute teaching picks up and ye olde computer goes down. Posts are going to be made from Ye Olde Kindle Fire, which is a terrific pain in the ass, but less than posting from Ye Olde iPhone. Please bear with me.
here are the posts and other products that are in the hopper:
(1) The implications of the flashbulb memory produced by Trump’s insurrection riot of 6 January.
(2) The reason low-information voters are so easily manipulated by the grievances at the heart of white identity politics.
(3) The ways that deep culture influences our politics.
I’m hoping the computer can be repaired or replaced this week and those posts can be made. Unfortunately, it means the newsletter project gets delayed.
Huzzah!

I wonder how Trump’s rabid supporters feel about his ego-driven call to resume the nuclear arms race? Do they savor the prospect of the end of mankind?

Right now, I think their knee-jerk — emphasis on the jerk — partisan reaction is that it is good. They are for it.
The other thing that is at play here is that no one can imagine the world without the US as the super power. It is beyond their ability to picture a nuclear holocaust just like we cannot picture ourselves in a terrible car accident or the world with us in it.
Huzzah!

The astonishing thing is the blatant dishonesty and deceit. It just shows that it is the partisan politics of us against them that is important here and nothing else.
Huzzah!
