Alan: I just finished a two hour conference call with a couple of old friends.
During that call I recalled that that Trump got over 60 million votes in 2016.
Then, making a rapid calculation, I concluded that some 40 million Americans believe conspiratorial nonsense, alternative facts and whole cloth lies before they will believe the findings of science.
As nation and as a people, I think our situation is much more tenuous then we let on.
Since antiquity there has been a saying: “Whom the gods would destroy they first make mad.”
