I have a pretty full plate on the teaching circuit, yet it's hard not to get distracted by all the swinging pendulums.
Which side of what is cheering or booing for what team these days? I lose track.
An overall cultural shift has been among those considering themselves "liberals" getting themselves more enmeshed in a deep state, with rank and file Republicans feeling more like outsiders than insider GOP types.
The internals of the Congress are supposed to shift during the upcoming midterms, but that's all been eclipsed by a flare up in presidential politics, a genre of TV the viewer-voyeurs find more interesting and engaging.
Perhaps a compromise of sorts has been reached, as if the Dems force Trump to the sidelines for legal reasons -- involving byzantine deep state rules invented for just such occasions -- then Trump doesn't have to brave another storm as superpower president in his old age (seems humane) and the GOP is likewise free to move on and gain experience.
Trump has suddenly been blessed with martyrdom while not yet in a posthumous state. He joins Assange, Snowden and Leonard Peltier, among others.
Mar-a-Lago as a rich man's Waco? Not exactly, fortunately.
Anyway, that's the spin I was getting from Youtube this morning, and it seemed somewhat plausible. The more diplomatic on the left are seizing this moment to welcome the right, into mutual distrust of the Swamp.
The swamp is a cesspool for organized murder Inc. aka the war machine. Getting it to stop spilling over has been a challenge and a cliffhanger. Are we finally achieving containment?
They're not succeeding in dividing us, whomever "they" are.
