Sandyism = Kinder, gentler 9/11 Bullshit

[cthulu2016]

It is the same general shit, but with less of the overt Christianist racism.

"Remember how you felt."

Defining governance in terms of catastrophe.

Lizard brain appeal to trust in authority.

I can keep you safe.

The Spirit of Sandy? Really?? It's like something from Idiocracy! It is appalling.

Had it not been for the preceding political/social horrors or 9/11ism and Bushism and Giulianism, etc.. the Christie thing would have been seen as a singularly classless, vulgar, cynical exploitation of disaster and misery.

But since Christie didn't actually propose invading a hail-storm to teach hurricanes a lesson it was accepted as somehow reasonable.

Defining demagoguery down.
