In an earlier post, Fomenting of U.S. Civil Unrest, I responded to my colleague Gary Tulie’s concern that U.S. politics is so horribly partisan that civil war could break out at any time, especially given the Colorado Supreme Court’s decision to bar Trump from running in 2024 based on his having participated in an insurrection.
I responded that U.S. politics, to an ever increasing degree, is driven by money–huge amounts of it–that are coming in from every angle, and that, without this disharmony, the torrent of contributions would slow to a trickle.  Sorry to sound cynical, but that’s an unappealing idea to most of our media.
Another point to be made here is that almost half the country, i.e., those supporting Trump, are having a great time talking about guns, civil war, the “Biden crime family,” building the wall, white supremacy, “taking America back from the radical left,” and so on.
While people like Gary, i.e., intelligent, sophisticated, and gentle people, abhor violence and hope to see dialog that leads to a national unity, there are tens of millions of American voters who would rather be diagnosed with cancer than they would accept some sort of “woke” middle ground. They’re having the times of their lives.
Another point to be made here is that these people are led my a man who openly commands them to violence.  Trump sent thousands of his thugs to the Capital on January 6, then watched them storm in, in a bloody attempt to stop the certification of a vote that he knew to be free and fair.
These people, and God knows their leader, have the slightest appetite for hand-shaking, consensus, nor any other form of civility. Again, they’ve been looking forward to this all their lives.

How Should the Measles/Mumps/Rubella Vaccine Be Administered? Should You Ask a High School Baseball Coach?

There are so many things going wrong in this country simultaneously that it’s hard to list them all.

Here’s something that no one could have seen coming: (see short video here) crackpot politicians giving parents insane medical advice about how to care for their children.

If I told you that our country’s parents were making decisions on vaccinating their children based on information provided by figure skaters or lawn mower salesmen, you wouldn’t believe me.

But the case is actually worse; it’s coming from the White House.

Do Americans Approve of Our Country’s Execution of Innocent People?

In this short video on the bombing of ships leaving Venezuela, President Trump asserts that drug overdoses took like lives of more than 350,000 people last year, a figure that, according to the CDC, is actually 79,383.

In any case, the video fails to mention that executing people who have not been charged with and convicted of a crime is a violation of both domestic and international law.

Why January 6th Wasn’t the End of Trump/MAGA

Keep in mind that, in 2020, more than 70 million voters cast their ballots for Trump, who, though he is a pathological liar, is 100% trusted by his supporters.  When Trump said the election was rigged, the vast majority of these folks believed him.  Even today, more than five years later, there are still millions of people who believe there was rampant voter fraud in the election.

Now, is storming the Capitol and beating up/killing law enforcement personnel an acceptable solution? It wouldn’t be for you or me, or most people, but imagine you’re an uneducated white-supremacist MAGA guy, and your president is telling you to do whatever’s necessary to prevent the election from being certified.

These are people who were so desperate to hang Mike Pence that the vice president had to be escorted out of the Capitol building to a secret and secure location, so he didn’t end up at the end of a rope.

When asked about this, Trump replied, “Maybe he deserved it.” To anyone trying to make sense of this, remember that you’re dealing with a deeply disturbed individual, and many millions of truly pathetic people who believe his is an honest and effective servant of the American people.  In congress, we have a couple of hundred of the most terrible butt-kissers imaginable, all clamoring to curry favor with him.
