Prickly City by Scott Stantis for November 18, 2022

It already WENT backward, Stantis.

Then Biden was elected. Didn’t you notice?

Dems retain control executive branch and the senate – of course we are going forward!

Or just spin its wheels for a few years.

Next is endless investigations of Hunter Biden.

My one consolation is that it means they learned nothing, so the next one may be a rout.

Unless we’re in a death spiral, normal progress is 2 steps forward and one step back. Human nature divides normally between right/left viewpoint. US system of govt is designed to examine issues from right/left viewpoints to arrive at the optimal solution. Rabid partisanship defeats any design and guarantees the death spiral. Those left behind by globalization turned to Trump. He saw them as marks, but he heard them. Economists who advocated globalization assumed they would be accommodated by legislators. Silly rabbits…

21st century Rural America = 1960s Ghetto America in terms of opportunity. We need to all step back, deescalate, and find common ground.

Going to be a little harder for the Dems in 24, without the FTX and Twitter Super PACs.

With people like you, Stanti, too often trying to portray the Right and the Left as equally bad, yep, we run the risk of sliding further back.
