THE IMPLAUSIBLE CORRELATIONS PROCLAIMED - BORNE OUT OF DESPERATION
And briefly on oaths - they seem meaningless in these times
Perhaps I didn’t address the contention that the folks who still call themselves Republicans are in a desperate state in these times. I postulate that although they might not wish to show signs of desperation, and would never admit to this emotion, but in fact they are forced now to confront their actual situation in these times. Reaganism largely has been a disaster, the white male Christian supremacy myth has largely been discounted in practice, and fear prevails among their ranks of the changing demographics of the United States. I do believe an unspoken desperation exists. Trump somehow assuaged this fear for a time, but now they are faced with paranoia for which they have no answers to. Trump is their only imaginary solace to their fears. That is my take, and I wish to end with it. Thanks for reading.
