Hah! So self-enthralled as to be unaware that they are the butt of the world's best joke...

rationality overwhelmed by xenophobic huckstering and malicious scapegoating?...or just a babbling idiot?

Hah!...Trump is 'merica's pillag(ing) idiot...

I doubt your interpretation, Mr. Scalzi. To my eye, that pup is clearly thinking, "THAT WAS SO WORTH IT!"

This is a dubious contextualization of prioritization as a dichotomy b/n red and blue teams. Not all GOP are MAGAT/malign - just as all Dems are not elitist/nincompoops. Both should seek common rational ground and the common sense that it rests upon.

Charlatan Don sells everything from cheap bibles to cheap xenophobia. His only skill is huckstering.

„…his lies about Haitian migrants eating people’s pets (lies which have been compared to the age-old antisemitic blood libel, and which have led to increased neo-Nazi activity), his administration banning governmental observance of Holocaust Remembrance Day, supposedly in the name of fighting DEI.“

His company's revenue stream is pegged to the zeitgeist. So principles have to sway with it. His posture has always belied the presence of a backbone.
