One of the more curmudgeonly yet tolerable if not actually lovable examples of the latter guru troupe is Roger Petersen of MIT, currently available to be seen as well as heard 'splainin' white eurotrash tribalism to Bloggingheads innkeeper Bob Wright here: http://meaningoflife.tv/videos/36477?in=19:52&out=28:22 <br /><br />Last I heard, Altemeyer's still around, doing fine. <br /><br />Last I heard from Perlstein you can hear yourself here: http://election.princeton.edu/2016/09/29/politics-polls-13-the-alt-right/ <br /><br />Trump's certainly bringing out the top academic samurai.Feud Turgidsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05379322096770703017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3856837.post-58053731780991461192016-09-30T17:45:05.263-04:002016-09-30T17:45:05.263-04:00I hope she got paid by t-RUMP before she wrote thi...I hope she got paid by t-RUMP before she wrote this, otherwise, she's screwed.<br /><br />ESPECIALLY, since she's a female.<br /><br />Uhm...<br />Anyone know how much she weighs?<br />It could be critical for her later, if she didn't get her cash up-front!Victorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06609452382111686086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3856837.post-18235106811634231722016-09-30T16:45:34.540-04:002016-09-30T16:45:34.540-04:00Fluke was the subject dozens of the most vicious s...Fluke was the subject dozens of the most vicious stories by not only fat slob Rush but also Fox (many times), Breitbart, Daily Caller and utter wingnut propaganda outlets. In addition, the Machado story is not only backed up with evidence, Trump himself continues the slander and lies (e.g. the bob0existent sex tape).Jimbohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13891331049535299222noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3856837.post-71166585943104995962016-09-30T14:27:44.024-04:002016-09-30T14:27:44.024-04:00That's "epistemic closure", sorry.That's "epistemic closure", sorry.Jim Snyderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01683702294178406033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3856837.post-33523909434237320122016-09-30T14:27:00.026-04:002016-09-30T14:27:00.026-04:00Conservatives are always the victims, reality be d...Conservatives are always the victims, reality be damned.<br /><br />Trump represents the triumph of "constitutional conservatism's" alternate reality over empirical reality.<br /><br />Not coming up with a pithy encapsulation, but Sanchez' "epistemic close" and Altemeyer's authoritarianism seem relevant here.Jim Snyderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01683702294178406033noreply@blogger.com
