You (weirdly) seem to assume that the orange pustule is rational.

Why stop there? Abolish the fascist-coded Department of Homeland Security.

76 and saddened by the ageism in this thread. I hate the entrenched Dem Gerontocracy as much as young people do, I just don’t ascribe the problem exclusively to age, so much as the DC bubble these folks have lived in for decades. They listen only to each other, and their donors. What I don’t get is WHY they cling to power, seeking to spend their last coherent years in a toxic environment like DC.

These “geezers” have been repeatedly reelected because as incumbents, they get party money and support. Thus the electorate, for my 55 years as a voter, has been continuously forced to choose whichever of 2 candidates will do the least harm. The system is so fucked up that it probably cannot be reformed except by dismantling it and building something else. Just a geriatric old hippie’s opinion…

I purchased The Naked Ape a few weeks ago, along with Ashley Montague’s The Natural Superiority of Women, with intent to reread. I had read these books when I was a kid, borrowed from my Mom’s collection. I finished Montague, it’s down at the neighborhood Little Free Library, just a small random act of subversion in our white Christian enclave. That’ll be Naked Ape’s destination.
