devastating pathogen that burns its way through the human race, felling people by the millions.
That’s a welcome event in the days of tRump. Is there a way we could engineer it to get TGOP’ers only?

I always suspected Trump’s strategy for his campaign was a greedy algorithm coupled with a machine learning component. Seeding step: generate a grammatically correct sentence out of random words. Tweet. Repeat. Weight each sentence based on the number of likes and re-tweets. Refinement step: take most heavily weighted words and key phrases and feed them back into the seeding step. Repeat. #covfefe

Wrong. He is a symptom of a diseased society, but not the cause. There are 100’s more people like Trump out there.
You can spot the new right-populist in many running in elections this year. But it’s not even a new phenomenon. the Minutemen, the Tea Party, and alt-right are all part of the changes happening in our society, accelerated by new powerful information systems.

I just read an article comparing Trump with Rand Paul, noting that they only have one thing in common - they’re both the craziest guy in the race. That’s what it takes to win a GOP primary in the 21st century - pink elephants.

I would take a pink elephant over those two any day!
This 45 situation always reminded me of “Interface” by Stephen Bury (aka Neal Stephenson and George Jewsbury)
