American public relations in Asia
I have lived in Asia for most of my adult life. What I have found most fascinating is the great PR game America has created for the rest of the world.

Korea's defense question and Bandow's piece
Way back in May of 2013, geopolitical analyst Doug Bandow wrote an incendiary, yet not widely read, column for the conservative think tank the Cato Institute about South Korea's defense posture and its dependence on the United States for military preparedness. The title, and you won't believe it: “South Korea: Close Friend of the U.S., and a Defense Welfare Queen.” The subtitle: “Even if Seoul is improbably believed to be an essential ally, it does not require U.S. defense subsidies.”

Underestimated: Biden and Democrats
Old dogs can learn new tricks, or maybe for this particular old dog, he already had new tricks. For all the second-guessing of President Biden by both allies and enemies, he has accomplished more transformative legislation in his first term since at least President Johnson, who ushered in the Civil and Voting Rights Acts, Fair Housing Act, Medicaid, Medicare, and a bevy of other anti-poverty measures.

Game on
In America, the midterm elections are nearly upon us. Republicans (also known as the GOP) stand to take the House at least. Historically, the party of the president (President Biden's Democratic Party) loses seats in midterms.
2022-10-24 15:33
There is no bottom
“Over the last 30 years, the Republican Party has effectively eliminated its moderate and liberal voices - as well as the conservative voices that put country over party. The consequences of this takeover by an increasingly right-wing faction include the threats to democracy that have become increasingly prominent since the Jan. 6 riots,” said former House Representative Peter Smith, R-Vermont, in his guest essay for The New York Times.

Deauwand (at seven years old): "Grandma, I didn't know that." Grandma (Alice Missouri Myers): "What you don't know could make a world."

Democracy has fallen
The American midterm elections this year will be the most consequential ones since at least I was born. If Republicans win back the House of Representatives and or the Senate, a white, Christo-fascist, illiberal party with a death cult of personality for Trump or Trumpism will be in power. President Biden could be impeached for no reason, show trials of Cabinet officials will occur, horrific policies like a universal abortion ban, and even worse, will happen.

Fake news
Fake news was used thousands of years ago for propaganda, fear-mongering, populism, and political opportunism. It's nothing new.

'The Handmaid's Tale'
Margaret Atwood's dystopian novel, "The Handmaid's Tale," explores a near-future America (renamed after the biblical nation-state, Gilead) where women are sexually enslaved to be breeding machines (handmaids) for military and political elites. In this Christo-fascist regime, sexual minorities, adherents of other religions and political dissidents are sent to toxic labor/concentration camps, tortured, maimed, and/or summarily executed. Women, even of the ruling military theocracy, don't have much autonomy or personal agency, if at all

Captured
Conservatives across advanced democracies share a similar ideology. They believe in “less government,” smaller social safety nets, neoliberal economic policies, and are hostile to workers' rights while fetishizing concentrated wealth and free markets. But no conservative political party in any democratic country is as radical and unhinged as the American Republicans (henceforth called the GOP, or “Grand Old Party”).
