The New Normal

Shut Up, Dear, Don’t Be Weird

There’s a campaign to portray Republican candidates as weird, which I’ve never really seen as a bad thing, although I guess it can be in some cases. The thought behind it, from what I’ve seen, is that right-wing radicals don’t … Continue reading →

Some Are More Independent Than Others

I see the Supreme Court has been doing their best to destroy democracy just in time for America’s birthday. There’s been a general trend toward this kind of thing. Back in 2010, the Citizens United decision made a stand against … Continue reading →

Divide and Concur

It looks like Joe Biden has won, but we still don’t know whether Donald Trump will go peacefully. Of course, he didn’t win by that much. I remember saying back in 2016 that it was really embarrassing that Trump got … Continue reading →

A Biden by the Rules

I watched the third Democratic debate last night, because I still do things like that. It was forever before they had the first commercial break, though, and sometimes I blurt out what I’m thinking and miss something, like Andrew Yang … Continue reading →

Blowhards and Believers

I’ve been thinking recently about why some people have such an affinity for tough talk and threats. I remember hearing that some people became more conservative after the September 11th attacks, and I don’t think it was because they wanted … Continue reading →

So Much for Love Trumping Hate

Trumped-Up Trickle-Down

I watched the first debate between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump last night, and it was both entertaining and terrifying. Do these debates ever actually change anybody’s mind, or do viewers just want to see the person they don’t like … Continue reading →
