Boston College Historian Heather Cox Richardson's Daily "Letter From An American," March 14, 2021
Alan: Boston College History Professor Heather Cox Richardson's provides an insightful, comprehensive and well-informed daily review of American politics. Professor Richardson specializes in the history of The Republican Party, and how the Civil War and subsequent Westward expansion affected the basic thrust of American history. She is exceptionally clearheaded, comprehensively knowledgeable and speaks in an engaging, straightforward, highly-readable style. She is the kind of intellectual who terrifies people who dismiss "the intellectual elites" because she knows what she's talking about and the picture she paints spotlights the relentless decline of the GOP ever since Newt Gingrich laid groundwork for The Tea Party.

In the span of five minutes, Heather gives the best historically-contextualized view of what happened "yesterday" in American politics. 

And she offers this gift every day.

  You can stay abreast of Boston College History Professor Heather Cox Richardson's daily reviews of American politics at Bill  Moyers' dedicated web page:  


If any Democrat - even a mentally ill one who'd stopped taking his meds - had attacked the Capitol Building (much less called for the hanging of vice-president Pence), every "conservative" in America (bleeding at the eyes, their carotid arteries pulsing purple) -- would demand that the seditionist-traitor be drawn and quartered on the National Mall, his dismembered body parts then stuffed in a gibbet to be hung over Pennsylvania Avenue until every bit of flesh had rotted away and the bones had bleached titanium white.

But when actual seditionists are Trump supporters -- not to mention Trump himself -- they are lauded as True Patriots.

Trumpistas make the original Pharisees look like Mother Theresa on steroids.

Inflammatory rhetoric and ubiquitous self-victimization are ALL the Republican Party's got left - a party comprised of liars, miscreants and malevolent lickspittles who would eagerly sell their souls to Satan for pragmatic political advantage. For all I know, they may have done so already.
It's not like Republican malice is anything new:

It surpasses irony that conspiracists themselves are singularly unable to keep their mouths shut.

As soon as there is a new conspiratorial tidbit they are compelled to circulate the rumor in an ever larger torrent of epistemological sludge.




I am a Christian.

Nevertheless, I think "Christian" "conservatives" increasingly resemble their snake-handling kin of yesteryear, doing demonstrably stupid things to "prove their faith."

And now, the Supreme Court ratifies that stupidity, and insures that it spreads.

Bad Things Happen: Punishment, Mercy And The Demise Of The Republican Party

Compendium Of Best Pax Posts On Organized Religion And The Everyday Validation Of Violence

Alan: Thanks to friend Karen Kolbinsky for bringing Dr. Kory's information to my attention. Although Karen supported Trump's lame-brained hydroxychloroquine campaign and championed The Donald's bizarre Kenyan physician who became Trump's point person on the issue, it is clear that Dr. Kory is a serious scientist with high regard for intellectual rigor and The Scientic Method. Therefore, Dr. Kory's findings deserve attention.
This is not to say that we have found a non-vaccine preventive for COVID infection. However, given the existence of promising evidence, I heartily support Dr. Kory's core request that the United States government fast track well-funded investigation of Ivermectin's potential efficacy.
I will also point out that Karen's criticism of America's pharmaceutical industry -- and its shameful promotion of "the latest and the greatest" at the expense of equally good (and far less expensive) alternatives -- reveals the underbelly of what capitalist hucksterism is ALL about.
If Karen is serious about her "line of attack" on Big Pharma, she can follow through by pointing a finger at the very heart of American capitalism as it now operates. Unbridled Capitalism has become an impregnable fortress for scoundreals... and worse.
In its current manifestation, unregulated "Cowboy Capitalism" protects and advances the self-seeking greed of "profiteering opportunists," all of them cut from the same cloth as Malignant Messiah.

Excerpt: "Trumpism is about something far more serious than Trump, something that has been brewing and building for generations. Let us take (Hunter S.) Thompson's cautions seriously, then, so that this time we (trusting liberals) are not naive about what we face. Otherwise, we're all liable (like Thompson) to get stomped."

A Comprehensive Review Of Trump's Racism (Featuring "Must-See Mash-Up Of Trump's Racist Preaching")

deep fake
Trump, along with his suck-ups, achichincles and cultists are insane.

Clinically certifiable.

They live lives that automatically morph reality into an enveloping delusion in which their fundamentally fact-free world is not only portrayed (to others and themselves) as true, but as "God's Truth." 

The patients are in charge of the asylum and presume their asylum is The Promised Land.

They make this proclamation of faith with the same decerebrate certainty that "good Germans" manifested in The Third Reich.

My working hypothesis is that Trump cultists want liberals dead, whereas liberals only want Trump cultists to leave them alone - just as they left them alone when they were backwoods snake-handlers instead of snakes.
 
It never occurs to Trump cultists -- particular self-righteous "Christian" "conservatives" (who are neither) -- to “live and let live.”

These folks are dominance-submission hierarchs, and nothing but total domination is even open for consideration.  

These "true believers" are absolutely certain God is on their side, and that the rest of us infidels are damned to The Lake of Unquenchable Fire.

And so since “God said it, I believe it, and that settles it,” they take it upon themselves to be dictatorial-and-cruel because that’s who their God is, and that’s what their God ordains.  

It is hard to see a way out of this muddle.

Here's where American conservatives ran off the rails.

"There are two ways of lying, as there are two ways of deceiving customers. If the scale registers 15 ounces, you can say: 'It's a pound.' Your lie will remain relative to an invariable measure of the true. If customers check it, they can see that they are being robbed, and you know by how much you are robbing them: a truth remains as a judge between you. But if the demon induces you to tamper with the scale itself, it is the criterion of the true which is denatured, there is no longer any possible control. And little by little you will forget that you are cheating." Denis de Rougemont
