In J.D. Vance’s interview with Johnathan Karl last Sunday, Vance referred to his policy decisions as a “thought experiment.” George Carlin posthumously has another one for his euphemisms. Crazy, undemocratic notions, including Project 2025, are now guised as thought experiments.
The blathering MAGA presidential candidate and his running mate are a twisted thought experiment. A true embodiment of Chauncey Gardner, Trump has managed to dodge substantive and rational policy issues in favor of juvenile, clownish and disparaging remarks. The American public deserves better.
I pine for the day for meaningful political discourse. I’ve been cheated by big money that buys inane phrases translating to votes. By nominating the ex-President, the MAGA Party is showcasing an old horse, pumped with air under the skin, as a thoroughbred. It is bewildering how Trump has cajoled his base to lap up his People’s Temple-like conspiracy concoctions.

The Republican Party has nominated a thoroughbred—a thoroughbred thought experiment that occupies our collective brain as a dead worm.
