Trumpist Dogma

Mark, I admire your tenacious adherence to the tenets of Trumpism. Unfortunately, it can also reveal more than you may intend! For example, by following the Trumpist dogma of silence (in response to my last postings), you demonstrate the Trumpism policy of ignoring criticisms that cannot possibly be refuted, even by the strained facts and logic of Fox/Limbaugh/Trumpian thought. I rely on you for insight into the bizarre world you mentally inhabit, since there are many millions who think as you do but without your articulateness. And I guess in this instance I have to glean what I can from silence.

On another matter: I believe we are on the verge of some wonderful innovations in democratic governance.  I am increasingly detecting from T and his courtiers hints of a new divide that they hope to create: namely,  not only to vilify the leaders of political jurisdictions who  fail to praise T, but also to punish those jurisdictions for their leaders' deviance by depriving them of federal resources. Isn't that clever? It will certainly force many of the "blue" State leaders to be more prudent in their political statements, and quite possibly injure their election chances. But is that all? As in T's famous tax bill triumph, won't all the federal agencies find ways to fiscally and otherwise punish those bad blues? I am sure that will lead to a great improvement in our nation.

Speaking of improvement, I see that efforts to reduce regulation are proceeding rapidly. Even though some meddlesome federal judges are delaying the new deregulatory rules, I am sure the ultimate outcome will make it far easier to manufacture things without concern for social or environmental costs. This deregulation promises to kill off pesky wildlife, pollute the air and ground that most people have to use, and speed global warming and the resultant climate change. The Trumpism vision is certainly correct: why should government have to protect peoples' health, especially when the people most affected are the least desirable of our citizens? Not only will these wise measures speed up the culling of our citizenry, they should increase corporate profits and, at least temporarily, raise stock prices. And who cares about the long run as long as our betters believe they can insulate themselves from any bad environmental consequences? Better yet, why worry about stuff that you don't want to happen?
