17 VIII 2020: Nuts and Saboteurs

Nuts: I’ve been reading about Marjorie Taylor Greene, a racist and Qanon enthusiast who won a Republican primary in Georgia and is likely to win the coming election to the House of Representatives. She was swept in by a “perfect storm”: racist, Qanon, Republican, and in Georgia. Any one of these could assure a nut-case of election in any Confederate state.

Some Republican members of the House have expressed their dismay at having a loony- bigot-demagogue in their ranks, but they are, in fact, inured to this, having put up with the ill-named Freedom Caucus for all these years. And there are others. Is anyone crazier or sleazier than Devin Nunes, Coach Jim Jordan, or Louis Gohmert? I think Ms Greene is part of the Republican anti-feminist plan to quell feminism by electing foolish women.

Saboteurs: I’ve read about the USPS and its new Postmaster Louis DeJoy. His only imaginable qualification is that he will do whatever Trump tells him. Trump admits to a plan to tilt the election in his favor by sabotaging the postal service, and Louis DeJoy is his saboteur. Of course, he is only the latest of Trump appointees who have been chosen to collaborate in the subversion of the departments over which they are placed. When the day comes, I hope to see not only Trump prosecuted, but also all of his saboteurs and wreckers like DeJoy — Trump could not have done so much vandalism without these little women and men.
