    The Trump Presidency Prediction Time Capsule Thread

    I think his core supporters generally don't care if he's lying. It's basic political tribalism, and believing the "party line" is a marker of identity and belonging. The rest of us (the majority) do care. Obama reportedly counseled Trump during the transition that "Reality has a way of biting...

    The Trump Presidency Prediction Time Capsule Thread

    None of this could have been predicted before the election! If only Trump had left us some helpful clues back then by behaving badly, by being obviously in the tank for the Russians, by knowing nothing about the details of the major issues or the art of governance, etc., etc. Who could have...

    The Trump Presidency Prediction Time Capsule Thread

    Good observation. I hadn't thought of it in those terms. I think one explanation is that Trump and his minions are, as always, talking only to their core base supporters, not to the larger "reality based community." The liberal podcasters, reporters, etc., are doing their best to translate the...

    The Trump Presidency Prediction Time Capsule Thread

    A few days ago, I read something to the effect that Trump hasn't yet submitted any legislation to Congress. That could be because: (1) He doesn't see the need to work with Congress, and plans to govern by EO or as a dictator; or (2) His White House is too caught up in infighting and is too...

    The Trump Presidency Prediction Time Capsule Thread

    This reminds me. . . Most of y'all are too young to remember this, at least not directly. President Reagan's AG, Edwin Meese, famously released a huge report on pornography with the bare-breasted "Spirit of Justice" statue right behind him. The statue, and a companion male statue, are located in...

    The Trump Presidency Prediction Time Capsule Thread

    I would give a month's salary to see him frog-marched in a blinding-white straightjacket across the vast expanse of the South Lawn to Marine One, which would take him directly to Bellevue (or whatever the publicly-funded DC equivalent is). Ideally, this would occur before he starts a global...

    Here's a clip from CNN in which a focus group of Trump voters are pressed to defend their absurd, fact-challenged beliefs. The barely contained WTF reactions of the moderator/host are remarkable, given that this is on a MSM outlet. I try, but I just can't comprehend the rationale for...

    I'm giving Trump the benefit of the doubt, not because I suddenly like him, but because it's the right thing to do (for me, anyway). I don't want to be a sore loser and remain angry for years about his winning. It's pointless. As Obama told Trump in the Oval Office, if Trump succeeds, the...

    It can be the government's appropriate role to do so, but (IMHO, of course) only if that area/economy is "fixable" at a reasonable cost. Economic development activity by governments is typically done at the local and state level. I'm being somewhat of a devil's advocate here, but it's hard to...

    Empathy, mainly. With today's voluntary tribal segregation by political inclination and socio-economic status, empathy is needed more than ever. Regarding Trump supporters, the better I understand the perspective and motivations of my political "enemy," the more difficult it becomes to dismiss...

    I agree with most everything you said. For me, the most immediately disturbing reaction to Trump's election was the sense that I was living in a different country or even reality from "those people" (Trump voters). Of course, the flip side is that many of "those people" have felt for a long time...

    No, it means that if he does great things as a Republican president, then he does great things. My point was that he isn't a typical DC Republican like Paul Ryan or Mitch McConnell, whose policy prescriptions and talking points suggest that they're still living in the era of Ronald Reagan, when...

    There are some hopeful signs for those, like me, who are dismayed by the election of Donald Trump. Trump has said that he wants to keep parts of Obamacare and replace it with something better (of course, "better" is subject to argument), without leaving a gap between Obamacare and its...

    Haven't watched the video, or read many of the past few days' posts--I've been trying to process what's happened. But I know all the arguments pro and con regarding the electoral college. The only way to do away with it (in practice) is the National Popular Vote interstate compact. One problem...

    America's geography would make it much more difficult, compared to Western Europe. The only scenario I can imagine that might be analogous to the refugee/immigration crisis in Europe is if Mexico experienced a revolution or insurgency that decimated Mexican society and drove hundreds of...

    What you're describing is meritocracy, which is the currently prevailing social/economic ethos of the US. There's nothing intrinsically wrong with it, as long as those who rise to the top (i.e., the "elites") remember that they're not the only members of this society and use their power to help...

    What happens when the current elites' time is up? It's clear from history, literature and the behavioral sciences that there will always be an "elite" class. If there's a populist revolution, I suppose it's conceivable that the current elites could be purged or sent to re-education camps, but...
