  32.  @neilprintz8428  Neil, I dunno, I can't take this buzzword-of-the-day thing seriously. Where did "cancel culture" come from? Women's Wear Daily? Some afternoon TV show with a bunch of Anaheim housewives in the audience? Whenever "people" say that X is "a thing," the way cancel culture is a thing right now, my tendency is to tune out. Kaleigh McElvaney seems to me an interesting character in exactly the same way as Sarah Sanders was. Both of them are strong women, both with a solid twenty or thirty IQ points on poor Donnie, and both of them with the same very difficult job, making sense out of a totally incoherent policy program. They have a basic simple problem: Trump's "program" is the dumb shit that half-wits talk in bars all the time. It's the meat and potatoes of Fox programming -- all the stuff that twelve-year-old Roman Catholic boys believed in 1970. It's nonsense because it doesn't make sense in the real world. You can write novels about it, and Ayn Rand and any number of pessimistic mitteleuropisch novelists have done so. That is not the kind of thing you can hold a pep rally for in the White House Briefing Room. The Evangelicals have a different set of problems but the same hard situation: they've backed themselves into a corner. They've voted for destroying their own pensions, health care, and even their furshlugginer soy-bean markets. All in the name of a white, blue-eyed Jesus. At the margins, 12~20% of all families, the kids are just looking at their parents funny. I come from a little village where there is a Camp Zion, where they have Holness Meetings every summer. The people who go to those meetings are perfectly nice people. But they didn't vote for a narcissistic failed real-estate hustler to run their lives when I was a kid. All across America something like 10% of the people, a third to a quarter of the Republican base, have made a mistake, and if they don't know it, they very certainly feel it. This doesn't make them suddenly Aristotelian logicians. It leaves them more like chickens with their heads cut off.
