So the tool naturally began losing its potency. But the Left failed to notice. It kept pulling tighter and tighter...to a point of ultimate high absurdity (when you're holding a hammer, all problems look like nails).
Then along came Trump, who deftly, easily snapped it.
Three results:
1. The tool has lost all effectiveness even for reasonable purposes.The Taoists are right. No effect is without cause, no child without parent. Excess breeds excess, and a pull is a push from a different perspective.
2. Nearly half the country stands proudly, exuberantly shameless. Think antibiotic-resistant bacteria.
3. The Left keeps reflexively returning to its broken tool, like endlessly flicking an empty lighter.
By left do you mean neoliberal, so-called moderates like yourself? Because that's not left.
ReplyDeleteCertainly not.
ReplyDeleteAnd if you're going to come at me snotty ("so-called"), use your name, as I do here, if you hope to be engaged with at all politely.
