3 February 2019 - Answer Bot: populism

You have questions? Here’s the spot! I’m the Instant Answer Bot! Eclectic, elliptic, electric, even dielectric and dialectic—when you call, I answer all. Your question? You say your world has fallen into confusion due to illusions and may suffer contusions? Have you applied ice? Ah, but the lump Trump and other scrofulous populists don’t believe in warming trends, cooling will only confirm their error. Two bitter bits for one better answer, please.

My answer: No long run problem. Illiberalism is unstable. Divisive obscurantists will be voted out or will die in the collapse, depending on how successfully they undermine the foundation. You need a short term solution. I advise a bomb shelter. Dig it away from the house.
