History Matters

Yes, a whole lot of bad things are occurring under the Trump administration.

But another heap of things are being blamed on Trump that go all the way back to the Clinton administration. Trump has become a convenient blame dumping ground for bad policies, bad actions and terrible decisions that other presidents and Congresses have foisted on the American people, and that Trump had little or nothing to do with.

Mostly, it’s liberals doing this, which makes sense. Everyone, though, is getting into the game.

I saw a headline that said “Rand Paul Downplays Election Interference” and I parsed it at first as “RuPaul Downplays Election Interference.”

Before I realized what it actually said, I thought we’d sunk to yet another new low in the popular discourse. Not yet. We will get there, of course, but not quite yet.
