If the diagnosis fits
From Hullabaloo’s earliest days, Digby has attributed juvenile behavior on the part of the GOP’s most unwanted to an epidemic of arrested development. “Maybe the only thing we need to know about Trump and his followers is that they are all suffering from arrested development. It really could be just that simple,” she wrote in 2015 as the Trump train picked up steam.
One suspects that cultural historians will explain the last couple of decades as a period of mass cultural insanity (my expectation). In the end, Digby’s arrested development take may be more accurate.
Speaking of arrested devlopment, if you missed the crackup on the set of Deadline White House on Wednesday (at MTG’s expense), it’s in the first minute. Enjoy.
