I like to think that the glass is half full of shit, and that the oligarchs who have skimmed trillions in this latest “Shock Doctrining” of the world will trickle down enough of their capital to sustain our democracy’s rate of backsliding. Unmasking the grifters and their tactics (as Thom does regularly) is crucial if only to help motivate folks to spread the word that almost ½ of American voters are being played as suckers by the morbidly rich. Progressive leaders must anticipate how the propagandists will treat anything done or said, and defuse it before it’s a problem. Mastering the art and science of propaganda is crucial for progressives, and it would be a lot easier than pro-autocratic news because pro-democratic news should be the truth. (And maybe someday there will be an answer to the question, "How do you tell an idiot that he's an idiot.")
Haha... better to call them sirs and madams and avoid politics in bars in red states with open-carry and/or no-permit conceal-carry. Afterall, the autocratic crazies have already checked off the box that says, "Beer Hall Putsch" on J-6.
I think so -- fat-fingered delete instead of edit, so refreshed and reposted, evidently at the same time you had replied. Haha, if there's a glitch, I'll find it.
I too share the curse of finding glitches, and it's been with me since I first tried to sort some punch cards with our high school's brand new sorting machine. Wish I could have taken that course Pass/Fail.

I think our posts crossed when I tried to edit.
Is that why your previous comment is deleted?

It put my original comment in the right chronological order at the bottom but left this reply thread at the top.
