On KQED this morning, David Frum was on Forum. One caller said the problem was that people talking about policy are using too many big words, and that when you use words like ‘Kleptocracy’, you leave half the audience not knowing what you’re saying.
I thought, “Great. We’ve so dumbed down the populace that we can’t even talk about the fucking fascist they elected using any words they didn’t learn by 4th grade.”
