Last week the world-renowned political scholar Joseph Biden reminded us of the danger to democracy down the ages from political garbage. Said he, after years of careful research and deep philosophical reflection:

The only garbage I see floating out there is his supporters[.]

Meaning Trump’s supporters.

As a political scholar, of course, Biden knows that political garbage has been a problem for most of the past millennium.

In the United States, the problem of political garbage emerged early in the phenomenon of White Trash. There’s even a book about it: White Trash: The 400-Year Untold History of Class in America by Nancy Isenberg. And I must say that I was shocked by the book. It inspired me to create my own Narrative about the founding of America, “My 1584 Project.”

And now the unthinkable has happened, with the son of White Trash, JD Vance, nominated as Vice President.

Did you know that the first shipload of “waste population” from England arrived off our shores in 1584, a full three decades before the racist arrival in 1619 of the first shipload of African slaves?

Here’s the story of political garbage in America, that I’m sure historian Joseph Biden can confirm if he can spare a moment from his busy research schedule.

It all started in Britland, in about 1200 CE, when the feudal system started to break down........
