Buried in this story is a glimpse at how ruthlessly efficient the right wing propaganda machine is. Clinton was a poo poo, but we shouldn't ignore the reality that they managed to drag this bloated manchild idiot across the finish line.

Funny thing about the word gaylord.... One of the meanest street gangs in Chicago in the 70s was named the Imperial Gaylords. Pictured below is one of their "war sweaters". What I wouldn't give to own one.

in a way hades is the trump like figure of the disney mythos, he brought down the established aristocracy of zeus (jeb!) and hera (hillary) on mount olympis, except in disney's movie, hercules (bernie sanders) beat hades (as he would have won)

now remains to determine who the other divinities are

I'm not joking, I sincerely believe this. If a civilization can overcome Trump-type organisms (which I imagine are somewhat inevitable due to the constraints of evolution), it can probably overcome a lot more in the spirit of cooperation, empathy, and mutual benefits for all parties. We could not overcome our Trump. We're kind of hosed.

It's dumb and we need to go back to city states

I pretty much agree. I've come to the feeling lately that what really hosed our country was making states into what they are.

Originally we had 13 states, and the concerns about small population vs large population were differences of about 50,000 on average vs 250,000 on average. Two senators kind of makes sense in that instance considering there's not a major difference, but now we have a state like Wyoming which is just loving barely over 500,000 being represented equally in the senate with a state like California that has 40,000,000 people.

Maybe we still want to keep two senators, but why the gently caress is Wyoming not a territory and Puerto Rico is not a state? Why are any of the Big Sky country states actually states? There are about 4.5 million people living in Idaho, Montana, South Dakota, North Dakota, and Wyoming, and they get 5x the control over our government that California does. California gets more representatives, but the Senate has the unique power to grind democracy to a halt through filibusters and has kept us from truly progressing past the dark era of supply side economics for 30 years.

In conclusion, basically revert those states to one big territory called Big Sky territory (relax the laws a little bit, they'll fuckin love it!), give Puerto Rico its statehood, and let Louisville secede from Kentucky while we're at it.

The best description of this phenomenon comes from Abraham Lincoln in his famous address at New York’s Cooper Union in 1860. Trying to explain how impossible it was to deal with the Southern slave states using normal democratic means, he asked, “What will it take to satisfy them?”

This, and this only: cease to call slavery wrong, and join them in calling it right. And this must be done thoroughly — done in acts as well as in words. Silence will not be tolerated — we must place ourselves avowedly with them. Senator Douglas’ new sedition law must be enacted and enforced, suppressing all declarations that slavery is wrong, whether made in politics, in presses, in pulpits, or in private. We must arrest and return their fugitive slaves with greedy pleasure. We must pull down our Free State constitutions. The whole atmosphere must be disinfected from all taint of opposition to slavery, before they will cease to believe that all their troubles proceed from us.

What the REpubs hit Warren with during Sessions hearing preventing her from reading Coretta Scott King's letter was actually based on something passed in the Senate in the early 1800s preventing senators from slandering each other.

This was of course all about stopping people from saying bad things about slavery.

I think if we come out of the Escalator Era (and I am very skeptical that we do), we need not just a progressive government, but a complete overhaul of our governmental structure. The Constitution should be re-written because, ultimately, it's a multi-century old document written by dead slave-holders. Much of it should be kept, but many things should be revised to bring it into modernity.
