That is the "Again" in the MAGA equation they seek.

I say, Make Betterment Valued Again.

And Reason, while we're at it.

MAG cult members think reality, empiricism, epistemic proof and epistemology are for "losers". True believers "truly believe" say they. "Loyalty", "certainty, certitude". Akin to Hitler's followers.

Evidence only strengthens their belief. Admitting they're wrong, changing hurts.

Right-wingers virulently oppose any governmental intervention into society for betterment that is a pure public, nonexcludable good. Universalistically, such improvements by government beg the question of what OTHER government interventions might benefit us. So. Right wingers slime science.

Patrimonial/clientelistic quid pro quo cronyism and prostitution.

Vs. equal protection under the law. Plutocracy. Kleptocracy. Kakistocracy.

The CFPB was instituted to protect the FREEDOM of the many citizens from private tyranny and financial harm by the very few.

Don't anyone DARE ever use the "R" word to describe its public protective actions

Right wingers will believe what they WANT to believe. Empirical evidence just makes them ignore, deny, rationalize to resolve cognitive dissonance. hen. Their beliefs just become more grotesquely intense. The paradox of reason.

"Freedom"'s just another word to misappropriate for quackery.

Cognitive dissonance will vex. Followed by ignoring the lack of life-saving benefits, denying it, rationalizing it.

Tonight we may experience our revised Sally Field moment. I hope after Trump is solidly rebuked in NYC, PA, NJ, VA, CA, some elder progressive statesperson will look straight into a camera and resolutely proclaim, "We hate you! We really REALLY hate you!"

The Trump backlash? Brutal. Troops. Worse.

In industrial society, there exist complicated externalities that are disutilities. Something's gotta gov.

When that something--government--doesn't curtail emissions, costs of operations decrease, profits increase, humans die.

Putsch 'n' boots.

Militarized terrorizing of the public--sometimes randomly, to optimize, generalize terror--is a key ploy of authoritarian regimes. Regimes that cannot provide healthcare, food, housing, jobs, security to their people.

Nancy Mace's recent tirade at TSA workers at an airport will be perceived by voters not as signs of mental erratic unfitness to govern nor of entitled imperiousness, but as "leadership", "strength" "antigovernment", "decisiveness", "power".

SC authoritarian, caste domination culture. Revealed.

Voght crafted--and is inflicting a long-arc vision for autocracy and the end of decent governance of private abuse and overcoming shrieking market failures that government provides.

Hit the ground ruining.

Interdependent society harbors impacts upon the vulnerable that are complicated, require expert detection, prevention.

Externalities exist. They are not consented to. Market failure applies to such externalities that are complicated, undetected disutilities.

Something's gotta gov.

"Vought" are you doing to our guardian state, our very concept of governance, government amid undeserved hardship and shrieking market failure, our social contract, our very civilization and common decency?

Orwell that ends will.

Reality?

There is no "invasion".

But per Trumpsters, truth, reality are for "losers".

"Leaders" "create" their own epistemic universe.

As do 3 year-olds.

Whoever--Reagan--advised "freely" "voting with your feet" to escape bad locales when many cannot afford to do so is putting the insole into insolence.
