Representative Pelosi seems to have pushed some non-zero percent of the population more toward President Trump & the GOP what with the tearing up of the SotU address papers on top of everything else. So that's just great! I mean thus far I subjectively do feel, as a pessimist, that we have the "empire" falling apart every which way. I try to listen to a range of AM radio talk shows during my commute hours, from the super 'liberal' side all the way over to the super 'conservative' side (so a mixed up soup of KPFA, KGO, KQED, Real Talk 910, 860 AM The Answer, KFAX, KKSF, KSFO, etc.) I do actually sympathize with each 'side' sometimes, and super disagree with all of them other times. Taking the two sides of politics in the USA to what the radio stations less-or-more-hyperbolically tell me are the logical ends, we are going to be choosing between socialists-cum-communists & nationalists-cum-fascists. I guess the human species "gets the future it deserves," greed having been the winning strategy. The whole, "I know, let's come down from the trees and start farming!" thing has given the Earth a very bum deal in the end. Hm, maybe if I just got myself some Disney+ then everything would be la la la all right.
