So much of the "Conventional Wisdom" we believe is actually counterfactual modern mythology.
“It’s pretty striking that a secretary of defense who has posted, gleefully, video of strikes of drug boats, now says we cannot post a strike of a drug boat,” Senator Jeff Coons, on the murder of two survivors of a boat strike as they waved for rescue.
And yes, murder is the right word.

In a move that would make any Soviet Premier proud--and also led to the total economic collapse of the Soviet Union --Trump gutted the agencies that collect economic data and blocked three reports that show us on the verge of 70s-style stagflation.

Also Trump: we cannot allow any asylum-seekers fleeing the terrorist-dictator of Venezuela to come to the Land of the Free.

I heard my wife playing Trump's statements about Rob Reiner and assumed he was trying to deny his friendship with Jeffrey Epstein again.
But it was the director of Stand by Me and The Princess Bride he was throwing a narcissistic hissy fit about.
The President of the United States is insane.

Almost all of Trump's efforts make us less safe. While the National Security Apparatus tackles people who "look Somali," while FBI Agents are fired, no one watches for the threats of the next mass shooter. While they eat their sheet cake, pandemics of known and curable diseases emerge.
The human cost of Trump's gutting of USAID: By the time Tor Top’s mother was sick with cholera, the nearby clinic had been shuttered for weeks. He bundled her into a canoe & paddled toward the nearest hospital, 8 hours away. Less than halfway into the journey, his mother died.

How about instead of primarying the Kansas and Indiana Republicans that rejected Trump's Gertymander, Independents start registering and supporting anti-Corruption Conservatives in the Republican Party? Pick a party (even 3rd Party counts) and vote in primaries, too, or you're part of the problem.

And watching them throat-tackle a citizen who "looked Somali" as he plead to have his checked ID, it looks like this is barely an outlier.

A clear example of racism would be to give priority to white asylum-seekers. And make sure they own half of a country's agricultural lands, lands where their parents and grandparents used forced labor. Trump's policy is to give white Afrikaners priority over any dark-skinned people from anywhere.
