White people have an inner racist. That inner racist needs to be tamed by direct confrontation by its owner. Most white people don’t have what it takes to do so, so they vote based on racist dog whistles like CRT and defund the police. Simple as that.

Okay, it’s a bit long in the tooth, but it’s worth it to figure out whose gonna win, right? My predictions have a history of being accurate. Stop laughing. I’m serious.

The shutdown exemplifies everything that is wrong with the Ol’ Pussy Grabber, his administration, and the GOP. The shutdown has been caused by and continues because of the Ol’ Pussy Grabber’s executive dysfunction and narcissism, but worse, it is a direct product of the GOP’s groupthink.

What does behavioral economics, loss aversion, and risk seeking tell us about 2018?
The longer we are exposed to the Ol’ Pussy Grabber, the more normal his abnormal behavior will become. The Resistance cannot let that happen. Expose him for his lies, corruption, and treason. Hold DoJ, FBI, Congress, and the judiciary accountable!
Gaslighting. It’s terribly popular to accuse the Ol’ Pussy Grabber of being a gaslighter, but what is he doing exactly? Is it on purpose with malice aforethought or is it accidental? Is it habit? Let’s expose the Ol’ Pussy Grabber…
Healthcare, taxes, the government, and a lot of life is very complex. How do we make complex choices? Tversky & Kahneman and biases and heuristics shed some light on what the GOP is trying to do to us and how they are doing. RESIST
