“We are two-odd weeks out from a presidential election with one of the contenders the most wildly unqualified candidate in American history and it couldn’t be closer. How can this be? The fact that it can even be close at all tells us there is a massive failure on the part of the status quo, the ‘system,’ the ruling class (call it whatever you want) such that half of the electorate would rather burn it down than give it any more time to fix itself. That fact alone, the intractability of the MAGA movement’s rage and its possession of half of the electorate, tells us that the country is going to be impossible to govern, no matter who wins. If Harris wins, we will at best have a simmering, low-intensity Civil War for at least the next four years.” [editor’s note: The irony of the title is lost on this pundit – SAT] [editor’s note: I have to admit that it’s weird — 50% of Americans are of lower than median intelligence, but more than 90% of voters routinely act like they are – TLK] (10/22/24)
