All told, it is extraordinary that the team pushing Biden's candidacy—after a presidential election in which America witnessed just how much damage the linkage between presidential campaigns, post-Soviet lobbyists, and their networks of corrupting cronies can wreak—thought it wise to bring aboard a man whose business model Paul Manafort would recognize.

Republicans denounce big spending while in opposition because opposition offers the luxury of principle, and then they accept spending once in power because the nature of governance make them feel like prisoners of the public's will … and then they look forward to defeat, at some level, because it liberates them to return the true faith, free of the corrupting responsibility to please a public bigger than their base.

This game may begin with some zombies, but they're only one facet of a story that involves a violent mutiny, the rise of two fascist warlords (one of whom just happens to be right about what's going on, but is such a violent and repellent character that they end up isolated and defeated), corporate interests corrupting judgment in ways large and small, and an alien collective slowly infecting and subverting the will of its most suggestible victims.

A strong private sector as the engine of economic growth and job creation: This includes encouraging private-sector growth, especially small business, but accompanied by reasonable regulations; ensuring that no bank or corporation is too big to fail with executives who are too powerful to go to jail; and a constitutional amendment overturning the Supreme Court decision in Citizens United, explicitly preventing powerful corporate interests and the super-wealthy from corrupting our political process with secret, unaccountable campaign donations.

I was, for the moment, having a bit of difficulty conjuring the version of Kubitschek who had, with an almost apocalyptic fervor, warned of the looming demise of the German Volk (literally the "folk," but often used to indicate a national identity in ethnic terms), the man who had argued at an anti-immigration rally that Germans are being "replaced and exchanged" by migration, the man who had suggested that the "pathological" manner with which Germany processes the crimes of the Nazi past leads to a corrupting strain of national self-hatred.
