Not only will he risk the fate of the world as far as climate change goes, he is another sign that a large number of people in the world want destrucive, fascist leaders. His election is also a sign that people aren't able to distinguish fact from fiction. Despite, or because of the huge amount of information now available, many people aren't able to filter out the lies from the truths.<br /><br />I hope it's a "phase" that humanity will grow out of. The signs are not good. Even some moderate progressives aren't able to tell fact from fiction:<br /><a href="http://www.newsweek.com/myths-cost-democrats-presidential-election-521044" rel="nofollow"><br />The Myths Democrats Swallowed that Cost Them the Presidential Election</a><br /><br />However, as I said in a previous article, now is not the time to give up on the world. Fighting for what is right is now more important than ever. So if you were hoping the HW would close sometime soon and that I would give up on humanity, you'll be disappointed.Souhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08818999735123752034noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2313427464944392482.post-75705299939995844862016-11-15T18:18:46.345+11:002016-11-15T18:18:46.345+11:00Mike: demagoguery is a route that leads to gestapo...Mike: demagoguery is a route that leads to gestapos and gas chambers.

Yet the penny still hasn't dropped, or she pretends it hasn't. <br /><br />The question is: is Judith playing a hoax on her readers, or is she as dumb as she makes out?<br /><br />It could be the latter. Remember, she had a <a href="http://blog.hotwhopper.com/2015/01/what-never-occurred-to-judith-curry-and.html" rel="nofollow">lot of trouble</a> trying to determine the difference between 50% and a half. I don't know if she ever managed to figure it out. :)<br /><br />That might explain why she thinks that politics is a better career for her in her twilight years than her day job. The grass is greener and all that. If she's any sense she'll hang out for the odd bone, not full time employment. Working in government is one of the toughest and most demanding jobs you could have. Double that if you work in the White House - which Donald Trump might be about to find out. (In his case, he'll probably get his advisers and family to run the country in his stead, while he trips around trying to drum up crowds to shout their adoration and feed his unflagging ego.)
