Let’s party like it’s 2007

Krugman succinctly points out how cynical, bad faith, hyper-partisanship pervades every last corner ofconservatism:

They are all liars.

Just look at the “Club for Growth” types like Stephen Moore backing Trump to the hilt despite having pent decades ranting about free trade and now holding themselves out as protectionist working class heroes sticking it to the man. “Makers not takers” remember?

If we survive this debacle, it’s going to be very tempting for the media to blame everything on Trump and declare that we much go back to “normal.”

No. That “normal” paved the way for Trump. It’s gotten us into trouble over and over again. It’s the whole movement, the whole party, the entire philosophy and worldview that is corrupt. They have a lot of ‘splainin’ to do before they can ever be trusted to argue or negotiate in good faith. A lot.

If you value what we write here, I hope you’ll consider supporting the blog with a couple of bucks. If you’ve already donated, I thank you from the bottom of my heart. If you haven’t and would like to, the paypal buttons are on the sidebar and below as is the snail mail address.

Buckle up everybody. It’s going to be a very bumpy New Year!
