The Political Horseshoe

[ndrosen]

First, this is my midday break; I am not posting as a civil servant on duty.

There is an article about the similarities in economic policy between Trump and Bernie Sanders, viz., that they’re both in favor of interference and extortion. I am reminded of a novel by the late Michael F. Flynn, one of the sequels to Firestar, in which one the characters, speaking of a Congressman with Trump-like views and attitudes, describes him as “a socialist Republican, a combination which ought to be forbidden by Leviticus.”
