In the last few months, activity here has fallen off a cliff. Is it time to wrap things up at DP? DP could be left as an obscure relic of better times before America reverted to the historical human condition norm of tyranny, corruption, bigotry, misery and superstition.

On Sept. 16, 2025, morally rotted MAGA loyalist Kash Patel, head of the FBI publicly told a senate committee that there was no evidence that Epstein trafficked any underage girl for sex to anyone except himself. In view of solid evidence of pedophile sex trafficking, it's completely reasonable to believe that Patel was lying to protect Trump. But there's probably nothing anyone will do about it. So the Epstein sex scandal will pass into forgotten history despite all the evidence that Epstein trafficked underage girls to other men for pedophile sex. MAGA and Trump will continue to deny anything illegal was done by themselves. History will be whitewashed.
MAGA used to stand for tyranny and kleptocracy. It's now fair and balanced to say it stands for tyranny, kleptocracy and pedophilia.

Trump, being the most brilliant biomedical scientist the human species has ever produced, said yesterday that acetaminophen in Tylenol causes autism. As usual for the most brilliant biomedical scientist the human species has ever produced, consensus expert science opinion is different. The experts say that acetaminophen does not cause autism. Science is being whitewashed to whitewash Trump's pedophilia.

A research paper published in the Journal of Political Institutions and Political Economy describes what we all already know. The paper, Direct Democracy Backsliding, 1955-2024, asserts this unsurprising observation: The strongest predictor of anti-direct-democracy proposals is Republican control of the state legislature.
The author also comments: I find little evidence that legislators sought to restrict direct democracy for strategic reasons, either to forestall future adverse policy outcomes, or in reaction to past adverse outcomes. What this means is that elected Republican politicians as a whole (1) prefer a more system with limited direct democratic participation, regardless of specific policy outcomes, (2) Republican politicians have an ideological preference for restricting direct democracy as a matter of democratic theory, not tactical calculation, and (3) Republican politicians are systematically opposed to democratic processes and not responding to particular policy threats, e.g., woke, DEI, immigration policy, etc. The pattern reflects long-term institutional preferences, not short-term strategic maneuvering.
