A leader of a country is using the intentionally stupid campaign slogan from HBO's "Veep"

Trump ahead of AIPAC speech: Israel should pay for US aid

"There are many countries that can pay, and they can pay big-league,” Trump said when asked whether he would include Israel on a list of countries such as Japan, South Korea and Germany that, in his view, can afford to cover their own defense costs without US subsidies. "I want them to pay us some money," Trump said at a news conference ahead of his speech to the American Israel Public Affairs Committee When asked specifically about Israel, the Republican frontrunner replied: "I think Israel would do that also." According to the Dallas Morning News, Trump reversed himself shortly after. "They help us greatly," he told reporters during a tour of the Old Post Office, a historic building near the White House he turned into a hotel." As usual, the Trumpeter speaks out of both sides of his body. He does not know the meaning of "truth". Everything is a negotiated settlement.

Seems like there is actually no functional process that can be confidently expected to produce "good" government of a large number of people. The human brain evolved to be successful small, tightly connected social groups that cared little for the welfare of those beyond the group. This evolutionary adaptation does not scale well. The Libertarian movement attempts to get around the need to scale by devolving power to small, local units. Statistically, small groups are more likely to come to consensus around extreme policies. One of these extreme groups then decides that its policies should apply the surrounding groups, and the cycle begins again. We are doomed.

"If you haven’t heard of the Southern Strategy, it’s an interesting aspect of history. Learning about it will help you fend off those historically-ignorant claims that Democrats are the Party of the KKK. You see, prior to the African-American Civil Rights Movement, racists in the south aligned themselves with the Democratic Party. As fellow Democrats started supporting Civil Rights, though, many racists residing in the south suddenly felt they had no voice. The Republican Party of the time saw this as a chance to court southern white voters, and they were right."
