To be clear, I want someone in the mold of Reagan who fights hard for what they think is best but has the ability to make a point while being truthful, funny, self deprecating and not so divisive that people in the middle or the opposite aisle cant get on board. He managed to win California for gawds sake so he showed it can be done. Just look at this thing of beauty, even his opponent is laughing:
I believe there is a whole swath of people in this country, far from either extreme who would gladly welcome someone like this and we really need this type of "leader" because as MLK said:
“If we do an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth, we will be a blind and toothless nation.”
Regardless of what I say, believe or do, I fear this is where we are headed because people now seemed as devoted to party as they are their favorite football team where conceding a point or giving the other side any consideration or credit is considered treasonous and its a damn shame.
I also think its greatly exaggerated by the rage fomented via social media but everyone is too addicted to step away from the insanity on places like Twitter, et al. I'm trying to avoid many of these formats but confess I find it difficult as the algorithms have successfully developed somewhat of an addiction to look much like being a rubber necker while driving past a car crash.
Here's an interesting Ted Talk about how they've engineered in rage inducing elements because it creates more views which in turns puts similar type rage inducing stories which produces more views and stickiness, etc and round and round we go...
The Social Dilemma show on Netflix also addresses these issues as well, they're legit issue we all need to think long and hard about imo.
We can certainly live without Twitter and Facebook and it wouldn't bother me if they disappeared altogether although I would miss Facebook Marketplace as you can find just about anything on the planet there and at good prices
