Opinion | The Barrage of Trump’s Awful Ideas Is Doing Exactly What It’s Supposed To (Gift Article) Amid an onslaught of bad ideas, Democrats need to muster a better vision for the future.

“Flooding the ether with bad ideas isn’t Trump’s unique know-how — it’s standard autocratic fare. Hannah Arendt used the word “preposterous” to describe the ideas that underpinned 20th-century totalitarian regimes. Bad ideas do a lot of the work of building autocracy.”

What these nihilistic vandals are doing to dismantle science & medicine—generations of expertise & public service & life improving benefits—is cultural revolution level national self harm. No foreign foe could inflict such brutal damage & senseless suffering on US so fast & effectively & unresisted.
