  • I think that there are many things we can get mad at Trump for, but simple vocabulary isn't one of those things.

    Speaking clearly is a virtue. Using plain language makes what you're saying easier to understand.

    Using complex jargon where an 8th grade level of speech will do increases the load on people's heads, which makes them get tired faster, and makes your message less accessible to immigrants.

    Trump is still not understandable even given the simple vocabulary, which is a huge strike against him.

  • Total embrace of the paranoid style of politics.

    A couple decades ago, these people would be ranting about how the reds are adding fluoride to the water to make American patriots infertile.

    Previously, the paranoid style was less prominent. By acquiring control of large sectors of the media, a strategically important asset, they have widely propagated conspiratorial thinking at a scale that has never been seen before in the USA.

  • Huffman is a greedy bastard, but I don't think he's alt-right. He's a bland neoliberal hypocrite. He is an advisor at the ADL and made a post saying that black lives matter, while not actually doing anything to help and actively profiting from what he said he was against.
