From Paul Krugman: \”Just to be clear, I’m not denying that Trump is a clown, an absurd figure. But given his party’s field, that’s not a distinctive judgment.\”The rest of the GOP fascists are saying equally absurd and vile things: more deep voodoo doo economic hoaxes (cutting taxes on the rich increases jobs and revenue, they claim), doing away with Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid and the ACA, making abortion all but impossible, etc., ad nauseam.
