Steven M. floats a theory. Here’s the gist; follow the link for his reasoning.

Trump’s election seems to be what you get when we’re all allegedly in separate political bubbles — but he grew up in a mass-market era, and it seems as if he still believes he can persuade the masses that the wall is a swell idea. It may be that he usually doesn’t do outreach to the rest of us because his constant diet of Fox News persuades him that he is reaching out to the masses — in the America described by Fox . . . .

A quibble: I submit that we are all not “all in separate political bubbles.”

Rather, it’s the folks who choose to get all their news all the time from Fox News and its dupes, symps, and fellow travelers who have willingly en-bubbled themselves in Fox News’s nonsense nonsensical universe where up is down and down is–oh, never mind.

This website does not track you.

It contains no private information. It does not drop persistent cookies, does not collect data other than incoming ip addresses and page views (the internet is a public place), and certainly does not collect and sell your information to others.

Some sites that I link to may try to track you, but that's between you and them, not you and me.

I do collect statistics, but I use a simple stand-alone Wordpress plugin, not third-party services such as Google Analitics over which I have no control.

Finally, this is website is a hobby. It's a hobby in which I am deeply invested, about which I care deeply, and which has enabled me to learn a lot about computers and computing, but it is still ultimately an avocation, not a vocation; it is certainly not a money-making enterprise (unless you click the "Donate" button--go ahead, you can be the first!).

I appreciate your visiting this site, and I desire not to violate your trust.
