For years we have had the liberal\/conservative, red state\/blue state party\/independent, mushy middle and the fabulous group of utter precious folk, the celebrated ‘undecided voters’ , who after being bombarded for a year with information, propaganda and screaming just cannot decide until they walk into the voting booth.<\/p>\n

We used to have a word for that last group\u2026. Oh yes. Idiots.<\/p>\n

All this allowed the media, people with small intellect but perfect hair and teeth who could read teleprompters to act as if they had political experience.<\/p>\n

I believe this world is fragmenting, and may never have really existed.<\/p>\n

I wonder if the group here at BDB sees a similar change?<\/p>\n

My experience tells me we are entering a world of left behinds versus elites and elite servants.<\/p>\n

Elite servants are media, state and federal workers and academia. Elites are folks with growth in income and assets.<\/p>\n

Both political parties are struggling to reposition on this axis and both are ultimately in very bad position between donors and voters.<\/p>\n

Your thoughts welcome.<\/p>\n
