This is how I have changed my mind about governments. I stopped using labels because they are only pejoratives that sabotage discussions by replacing thoughts with opinions, logic with emotions. I suspect they are used to inflame hatred between children so they throw rocks at each other instead of thinking out loud and possibly agreeing. I think they "give" us these "fighting words" for a purpose. They are dog whistles and insults that accomplish what whistles and insults are meant to accomplish... Turmoil in the schoolyard. Just like that one word, "regurgitation" triggered poor Frances. I should have seen that coming. It was stupid of me.

That’s the mythology that the red Trump hats are tapping into as well. It’s a symbol of “rebellion” against the current system in favor of a more republican style of government. Obviously we all know it’s misguided but that’s what the people orchestrating the movement meant by it. The symbolism runs deep and there’s nothing new under the sun.
