I agree with you on the stste of the country, the mindset of seemingly most.
I do not the politics of today's America, either party. Thry do not represent the best for this country. I do have a side tho...it is the United(maybe once upon a time) States of America.
Good read M and exactly where 10's of millions of voters are. The ever so depressing question always floats to the top: How did we get here?
Sorry, not even going to try and answer that. Smarter people than me can do a far better job of explaining.
I will say this and you can take it for what it is worth: For trump to win, he needs only for the maga crowd to show up and vote. For the Biden (or whomever) to win, they need the rest of the country (non-maga) to vote in force.
If nothing else, the answer to the opening question might just be wrapped up in the riddle of us versus them.

Lots of Sunk Cost.
On the GOP side, an endless series of "mulligans" that shaped those granting the mulligans more than the man receiving them.
On the Democratic side, a weak party that is scared of death of "starting over" with a new candidate, despite the fact that the current candidate is trailing, and he already has a vice president who would inherit his campaign infrastructure and message. And an old man who is too foolish to admit when he's been wrong, and is liable to repeat the exact same mistake Ruth Bader Ginsburg did, which is in the process of erasing her entire judicial legacy.
Enjoyed your comments on pessimism. I share that philosophy in much of my personal life and my politics. I suppose it's a holdover from spending 40 years anticipating everything that could possibly go wrong because lives were at stake.
Wish I could believe that you are wrong in anything you expressed.
Not clouds in my coffee this morning. No more dreams. Only tears.
Excellent piece.
From one side, you have a self-aggrandizing narcissist.
From the other side, you get a feeble intermittently demented shell who Sun-downs.
Both sides say the other side spells doom and gloom. But each side offers up a steaming turd as their chosen alternative.
This is why people drink.
Well said and sadly on target.
