Bipolar America

We Love to Swing - Wildly

Kanye Best


Kanye West may be a perfect fit to replace The Donald. 

Henry Louis Mencken, a well known satirist of the early 20th century, once said, "As democracy is perfected, the office represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people.  On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last, and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron."
In other words, America's leader will be the perfect personification of its voters.

Today, the country is as polarized as ever.  Unlike the past, its technology plunges America's polar opposites together like the force used to trigger the critical mass of nuclear power needed to set off the atom bomb.  Everyone is mesmerized by a nuke, even those who get fried by it.

Kanye can be America's societal nuke, as he brings together both extremes in such captivating ways.  The Donald has only a very limited payload, where Kayne goes thermonuclear.  America is a thermonuclear society, which is extremely entertaining until it becomes collateral damage.

Setting the Stage

  Unusual Suspects Americans face seemingly insurmountable problems and need someone to blame. We have mastered the world.   America is the most prosperous and powerful country on Earth, and we tend to take credit for that success.   However, we cannot do everything and some things we do have unintended side effects that we cannot control.   For example, we do not treat everyone equally.   While many things point to why, the greater truth is we have not figured out how to make that workable.   We have created a great deal but consumed a great deal to do so.   This has created problems such as pollution, which we have struggled for decades to ameliorate with minimal success.   We invest trillions in our military but cannot stop wars, and we provide others with weapons to fight.   We reached the top but now watch others climb past us.   We are the wealthiest country with the highest debt and have no plan to settle it....

Political Football

Alabama Plays the Trump Card to Defeat Georgia Candidate Trump wearing Georgia Red with Crimson Tide supporters The only thing more divisive than this year's election would probably be the Alabama/Georgia game.  While everybody in the stadium was probably as red as blood, the shades made all the difference.  Mr. Trump sat with the Alabama Tide because one of his Mar  Largo members offered an invite that probably included a campaign contribution.  His support was widely noticed in the Tuscaloosa stadium, much to the chagrin of the Georgia fans, who watched as the Tide kept the Bulldogs from reaching the winning goal in the final minutes while tolerating the constant chant 'Eat Them Dawgs' from Tide fans, who were referring to the rumors of Haitians eating neighbors' pets in  Springfield, Ohio, not the Bulldogs.  Mr. Trump got caught between high Tide and many potential Georgia voters.  It was more entertaining than the halftime show.

The 2024 Presidential Debacle

 A Unmemorably Senior Moment   Our choices The evening of June 27th marked a nadir of political dark humor.  The two oldest men to ever run for the presidency acted like very old men.  President Biden could not reliably string two sentences together, proving his senility, while former President Donald Trump raged on, saying anything he thought might get votes.  While Trump was more desperate than usual, Biden's mumbling took center stage.  It was mesmerizing, like watching a train wreck in slow motion.  The video (link above) marks a downward inflection point for the Democratic Party and the nation as a whole.  Sadly, there was nothing entertaining about it.
