@obeto@StillIRise1963 so at what point did we cross where people 60 years from now will look back at our history and say “can you believe these doofi didn’t revolt at this point?”
I see Sarah Palin as the opening salvo in our Journey to DeluluLand. I was gobsmacked that she resonated with people. I was more rattled by the success of the Tea Party movement.
In the years since I’ve begun to visualize a political pendulum that swings back from big changes, advances or things that otherwise shock the system. Obama was not a pendulum mover from a policy perspective - yet the pendulum swung as if he was. Maybe it was the tan suit?
@obeto@StillIRise1963 Evolution feels like the problem. We evolved sufficiently to obsolete natural selection. We’re smart enough to allow our dumbest specimens to reproduce and those spawn survive.
@obeto My brain can’t take it. I used to be fascinated by stories about people doing strange things. Now, I can’t avoid them and I’m no longer fascinated.
