A New Year’s plea to those who support the old regime

We are a nation of rules and the rules are boring. Embrace that. In times of difficulty, go with the boring option. When faced with a frightening crisis, tamp it down with ultra-boring moves. No matter what, stick with the rules.

I can’t avoid talking about Donald Trump but I’m going to make it brief. I know you don’t like him; neither do I. But let’s assume he’s only a politician. He’s not Hitler, Godzilla or the Beast of the Apocalypse—just a guy with a loud mouth and a desperate need for attention. Most Americans think of him that way.

This is not about him. It’s about you.

    He’s so anti trans he told Jenner she can use anyone bathroom she wants.

    I don’t think that reflects the politically strategic demonization of trans people that is so critical to the Republican brand.

    Specific trans-folk, particularly rich ones, are more than likely to be on Trump’s side. And if he is indeed some guy with a desperate need for attention, then once he gets it, it’s fine, Jenner can use whatever bathroom she wants.
