This is a provocative connection to Trump's posturing over Idlib. Nationalism in one fist, patriotism in the other, both plunged in a bowl of bullshit.

I want to clear my head. (Speaking of bullshit, I was transcribing Tuesday's Twitter and Facebook testimony about advertising "incentivizing". ugh.) I think, at first, the NAZI filter isn't constructive, because each  foil for totalitarian ideology is comparatively obscure. So are expressions of political oppression in the USA, while military aggression outside the USA is not.

I want to think about my image of truth, epitomized by Trump's historical status, a little more, compose my thoughts and respond at length with prose.

Diversity is the key to economic and political evolution.
