Law, Power, and Justice

Joe Scarborough is scratching his head this morning wondering how the Republicans could be thinking about passing a tax bill that is so clearly unpopular, so clearly a hand out to their donors and so clearly will hurt their constituents.  Not much to wonder about.  The Trump base does not read, does not think critically, and believes everything Fox News and the Trump Administration tells them.  And, the administration has been all over television telling the base that the tax bill will benefit them.  Nothing to wonder about.  What everybody should be wondering about is how we are going to deal with a country going forward that has been so propagandized and which evidently contains at least 33% of people who are so ignorant they can’t even distinguish between fact and fiction.  That’s what Morning Joe and every other talk show should be discussing.
