"The media keeps trying to 'understand' Trump voters because they don't want to accept the truth about them. … Over the weekend New York Times ran Part in its continuing attempt to understand Trump voters. …

I am sorry, but some Trump voters are not merely misunderstanding 'the economy,' or imagining his 'principles,' and they don’t think that the 'mean tweets' are regrettable. Some of them want the authoritarianism."

@wdlindsy I've come to the conclusion that Trump voters cannot be defined by any normal metric. As a whole, they are not stupid or uneducated. Some are well educated, ie Harvard, et al. Some are wealthy, most are probably not. For me, I can only describe them as either being very wealthy or having drunk the Koolaid.

The NASA global temperature data for 2023 are here! No surprise: it's a new heat record. not only continues, it has accelerated over the past 40 years. Compare the thin linear trend line with the thick black non-linear trend line; the latter curves upward.

@rahmstorf You believe in global warming? Come on, now! I don't care what those silly lines portend. We know this is just another "woke" concept that undermines American Industry.
