Are Americans Fed Up with Trumpism?
It’s possible that Americans are so angry that the Trump administration has ruined their country and its democracy that paid advertising for Republican candidates is having no effect on them.
We can only hope.
Mike Lindell Paddled in the Primary
Obviously, the endorsement of a much-despised president didn’t help, but what chance did this election-denying moron actually have in a sophisticated state like Minnesota?
Marxism
I would be shocked to learn that more than a tiny fraction of 1% of American voters consider themselves Marxists.
The typical progressive in the U.S. hopes to see this country refashion itself in the manner of the social democracies that are sprinkled all around the globe.

Woke Celebrities Far Out Number Trump Supporters
Glenn Close is what Donald Trump would call a “woke celebrity.” Yet what he’s deliberately ignoring is that he has virtually zero support from the entertainment industry.
Sure, you can find an occasional Clint Eastwood or James Woods. But for every one of them, you’ll find perhaps a dozen intelligent and kind people like Close who deeply resents Trump’s attempts to steal democracy from the American people and the rest of the civilized world.
I’m no expert on political demographics, but is strikes me that someone like, say Jodie Foster, who could read at age three and graduated from Yale magna cum laude, probably sees life differently from the MAGA base of carrot farmers.

Is Trump the “Greatest President Ever?”
Today’s America admires the rich, and we have no problem if our leaders are sociopathic rapists.
All they really need to do in order to retain our adoration is to continue to punish people with brown skin and give tax breaks to their fellow billionaires.
Quality education, healthcare, protecting our environment, and affordability are all issues for communists and woke sissies.
The Future of Pete Hegseth’s Career
Let’s not rush to judgement here.
OK, he’s an alcoholic Fox New host who’s led the U.S. military into a huge quagmire that, day by day, continues to destroy the U.S. and world economy.
My gardener is just as well qualified to lead the largest military in human history.
But Hegseth is 100% loyal to Trump. Nothing else matters.
“Proud Republicans” Want the MN Governor in Prison
Well, he hasn’t been charged with a crime, let alone convicted.
But if the wealthiest man in the world says he belongs in prison, so be it. After all, this is the United States in 2026.
Maybe Musk can have him sent to the electric chair. That would make the “Proud Republicans” very happy, and quite proud to be patriotic Americans, wouldn’t it?
You know what they say: “with liberty and justice for all.”

Will You Be Safer if Non-English-Speaking People Can’t Drive?
Most Americans who have the means to travel have rented a car in Paris and driven it all over France. I happen to be the first Avis renter to pick up a car at Heathrow and take it through the Chunnel on my way to Paris, on my way to Stuttgart in western Germany.
How much French do I know? Close to zero. I don’t even know the French word for “zero.’ Was I a menace to the French? Doubt it.
This strikes me as pure MAGA racism. It’s an appeal to punish people with brown skin, or preferably, take them and their little children into detention and ultimately deport them. The more pain, the better.
Social Justice
Remarkably, there are still people on this Earth who agree with Mr. Hayek. It appeared that their numbers were thinning out, until Donald Trump came along and gave straight white Christian men permission to be the most disgusting people imaginable.
Social justice brought us the end of the divine right of kings and slavery; it brought us the Age of Reason and the incorporation of science into policymaking.
Even the most despicable Americans in the most backwater parts of the United States will face steep consequences if they lynch a black man, and don’t forget that lynching in the Deep South was as popular as baseball only 100 years ago.
Is It True? Who Cares?
One of the key features of Trumpism is that facts don’t matter–and this includes facts that members of the MAGA base experience every time they go to the grocery store or fill up their gas tank.
If Trump or one of his minions says it, it must be true, regardless of how blatantly false it is.
