I just posted the following in GD.

> I am also pessimistic. The sheer cost of right-wing malice is staggering. Recall that Clinton and the Democrats solved the deficit problem in the 1990’s and the GOP deliberately threw that away at a cost of trillions. The misadventure in Iraq was a deliberate boondoggle, again with multi-trillion cost. GOP opposition to UHC costs at least half a million human lives per decade. Environmental regulations removed just in the last year will cost tens of thousands more lives. (I hope I don’t receive a warning for political jabs in GD — the above are facts, not opinions.)

> The one optimistic straw I grasp at is the sheer horror, incompetence, and blatant corruption of the Trump Administration. Just as the drug-crazed rapist in **Clockwork Orange** was cured with aversion therapy, so maybe Americans will wake up in the aftermath of Trump and finally understand that Stupidism is not a sound political philosophy. (Alex the Droog does relapse in **Clockwork Orange** ; let this be a warning to America: Move quickly when sanity is restored.)

What’s the betting line on whether it gets me banned? 'Luci? Will you please pronounce a Rite of Extreme Unction for me?
