This week, I asked Kelly about their exchange. He told me that when Trump raised the subject of "German generals," Kelly responded by asking, "Do you mean Bismarck's generals?'" He went on: "I mean, I knew he didn't know who Bismarck was, or about the Franco-Prussian War. I said, 'Do you mean the kaiser's generals? Surely you can't mean *Hitler's* generals? And he said, 'Yeah, yeah, Hitler's generals.' I explained to him that Rommel had to commit suicide after taking part in a plot against Hitler." Kelly told me Trump was not acquainted with Rommel.

I want you to understand, regardless of your politics, the historical danger of a secret police. What happens when a militia is deployed in our neighborhoods and against our own people. Left unchecked their mandate will grow; the boundaries of acceptable identity and speech will shrink. I want you to think about elections in this future. I want you to understand that every issue you care about-any hope of participatory democracy -is downstream of this.

Remember that Kennedy made sure Trump got to fill his seat when he retired

www.law.virginia.edu/static/uvala...
Swatting away the anti-corruption rationale at the heart of their earlier jurisprudence, Justice Kennedy, writing for the majority, overruled Austin and parts of McConnell and declared, "This Court now concludes that independent expenditures, including those made by corporations, do not give rise to corruption or the appearance of corruption. That speakers may have influence over or access to elected officials does not mean that those officials are corrupt. And the appearance of influence or access will not cause the public to lose faith in this democracy."

And actually 60 Minutes paid me a lotta money. And you don't have to put this on, because I don't wanna embarrass you, and I'm sure you're not- you have a great- I think you have a great, new leader, frankly, who's the young woman that's leading your whole enterprise is a great -- from what I know. I don't know her, but I hear she's a great person. But 60 Minutes was forced to pay me- a lot of money because they took her answer out that was so bad, it was election-changing, two nights before the election. And they put a new answer in. And they paid me a lot of money for that. You can't have fake news. You've gotta have legit news. And I think that it's happening. I see- NORAH O'DONNELL: Mr. President- PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP: -I see good things happening in the news. I really do. And I think one of the best things to happen is this show and new ownership, CBS and new ownership. I think it's the greatest thing that's happened in a long time to a free and open and good press.

It's only inexplicable if you think voters are rational actors making decisions based on an informed assessment of each parties' policies & their likely outcomes, rather than vibes-driven low-information victims of a deeply dishonest media environment throwing darts blindfolded & hoping for the best
trying to understand the mind of the american voter is like peering into a cursed grimoire that destroys your sanity

Al's closest historical analogue here may be not electric lighting but radio. When RCA started broadcasting in 1919, it was immediately clear that it had a powerful information technology on its hands. But less clear was how that would translate into business. "Would radio be a loss-leading marketing for department stores? A public service for broadcasting Sunday sermons? An ad-supported medium for entertainment?" the authors write. "All were possible. All were subjects of technological narratives." As a result, radio turned into one of the biggest bubbles in history-peaking in 1929, before losing 97 percent of its value in the crash. This wasn't an incidental sector; RCA was, along with Ford Motor Company, the most high-traded stock on the market. It was, as The New Yorker recently. wrote, "the Nvidia of its day."
