Were people even surprised by how Trump 2.0 reacted to the murder of Charlie Kirk? Think back to the aftermath of 9/11. It has become a predictable formula.
Political maneuvers after a crisis or emergency show what government is all about. It is an opportunity to live through an educational episode. And it shows you how unnecessary complex theories of government are.
Think of that quote from H.L. Mencken about "the whole aim of practical politics..." Never is the wisdom of that quote better illustrated than after some tragic incident brings on a flood of Fear and thirst for Revenge. Shrewd political operators know how to not let a crisis go to waste.
I liked this one (from the link):
ReplyDelete"The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary."
Hobgoblins = PsyOps
Duh.....after I hit publish, went back to read the post again and saw that was the one you used for the link. Yours is the only blog I read that takes the making a comment to a different page. That's my excuse, lol.
