- thomascgalvin 7y agoOur current political process follows a simple loop: 1. Experts describe the likely outcome of a course of action. 2. Those experts are declared to be frauds, their views labeled a hoax or fake news. 3. We implement the policy the experts were trying to warn us about. 4. The experts' warnings come to pass. 5. We learn nothing, and repeat the whole cycle with the next issue.
