The worsening divide between the losers and reality seems to those of us observing it to be threatening the stability of the nation, but what’s got me thinking, and really worried, is that we’re just so far gone, not apart or even into the abyss formed by an earthquake; instead, it’s submission to the idea winning is all that matters, and when one side stoops to anything to beat their opponents, adopt antithetical values, collude with the enemy, reduce its own ranks by substituting misinformation for education (and the other’s perfectly content only to keep raising money to remain in the game), every now and then they will, and regardless the outcome each time will be a razed battlefield.
