When things don\u2019t make sense, we make them make sense by supplying additional information which is either true or false, but which fills the gap. \u00a0I think a longer-term trend than simple disgust with the GOP, and to some extent with the DNC as the Clinton machine blows a rod, is the decay of an American Republic as seen in your Civics textbook.<\/p>\n
We\u2019ve always been plagued by the Art Bell \/ Alex Jones kooker crowd and their Libertarian Party locust. Call these people the early adopters, ready to fly away from reason (even while laying exclusive claim to \u201cReason\u201d, a sign of derangement) at too little provocation. Then there are those who will never depart the pattern, but will drive right into a wall because there is no sign instructing them to turn — the GOP faithful. \u00a0These are the late adopters \u2014 for them, the GOP will never put forth an unacceptable candidate on election day. And then in the middle, smeared from one extreme to the other, is the great mass of people, the place where simple power \u2014 as opposed to some malformed\u00a0kingmaker status \u2014 resides. And these people are now complaining that things don\u2019t make sense.<\/p>\n
They are right.<\/p>\n
Like some horror film variation on the tale of a bunch of blind folks trying to describe an elephant, the American people are closing in on the Cloverfield\u00a0monster that has colonized Washington DC and laid waste to our Republic. The closer you get to it, the less reliable, the more fantastic your reports become. It\u2019s a crazy-maker and a poisoner, a liar and an effortless purchaser of loyalty. It\u2019s an octopus to some and a pyramid to others, and some it terrifies while others it merely hectors into complicity. Everybody got mouths to feed.<\/p>\n
Nobody has a clear picture of it, and ridiculous tales abound, but the one thing that is certain is that the American people can smell its stink, and are realizing that this is a fight to the death.<\/p>\n
The creature from the hyper-Kremlin mosque of fiat currency is running out of places to hide. Your mileage may vary. It looks like different things to different people, but as the cordon is drawn, watch for the tales to converge \u2014 with facts or without. Watch for pissed-off democrats to start agreeing.<\/p>\n
