Conspiracy theories have infected our republic, poisoning our democracy, creating a multiverse of reality rendering our country’s governance dysfunctional.
So let’s indulge in mine.

Clean Up Time
American politics has settled into a cycle where the Republican Party promulgates reckless policies that are harmful to the country but beneficial to their contributors. As a result, Democrats are swept into office to clean up the mess. Then when elections come around again the Republicans criticize the Dems janitorial efforts and promote another round of reckless policies that sound good, and…clean, rinse and repeat.

The American Dream
What proved to be a pivotal year in the life of this American was his 5th. That’s when I discovered death for the first time with the passing of my grandfather. Later in the same year, I witnessed the separation and eventual divorce of my parents when my father moved out of our house. Finally, the assassination of our young president brought this year to a merciless end. While finishing kindergarten and entering the first grade, I was challenged to cope with having to permanently say goodbye to grandpa, experience the dissolution of my family and understand national mourning following a horrific public tragedy. Innocence was forever lost…

The monetary policy ‘trickle down’ which theorizes that the better off the rich are the better off the country is says the elite will take their maximized profits and savings from a minuscule tax obligation and spend it on commodities which will trickle down to the rest of Americans. In the wake of America’s 2007 economic…

Biden’s Presidency Will Prove Transformative
Election Day 2020
The other day a pundit on cable news correctly stated that “if anyone says they Know what’s going to happen on Tuesday they have NO idea what they’re talking about”. I could not agree more.
So, let me show off my ignorance. I do know one thing for certain… at around 10PM Tuesday night President Trump will declare victory, apparently as of this writing at a celebratory White House event, regardless of the true tally, Hatch Act and certification protocols. This action will enable him to establish ‘home court advantage’, in other words it will be up to Joe Biden to prove that he beat an incumbent president ripping a page from the Bush 2000 playbook when Al Gore conceded to George Bush only to then reverse his call.
But guessing the rest of the night by applying the scientific approach of connecting the proverbial dots, Trump will claim his win based on vote count that day. He will pronounce that counting any other votes, specifically by mail is tainted with fraud and should be thrown out. He has been setting up this strategy over the course of several months. That is why he has been appealing to his base to vote in person on November 3rd.
Then the embattled president will call upon Attorney General Barr to throw the entire election into the courts hoping the McConnell judge-stuffing will bore fruition, while coaching his supporters to agree that rampant voter fraud in fact occurred thus dominating the argument over the Thanksgiving table (if there is one).
Then, one of 2 scenarios will play out. If the vote is close, channeling the 2000 presidential, the Supreme court will ultimately vote on a straight party line and Trump will be reelected. If it is a landslide victory for Biden, the Supreme Court will punt, and Biden will be the 46th president of the United States.
So, you all know what you need to do.
VOTE
The only question after scenario 2 will be if Trump’s supporters heed his call to react, and if so, how severe.
THE LEADERLESS SOCIETY
A pandemic has taken 100,000 lives while our economy has tanked. Racism and its reaction are being played out in virtually every mid to major city in America. Record unemployment. Rampant looting of small business that haven’t been opened in over 2 months. Police vs. protesters. Armed groups demanding we go back to open as the virus awaits it’s next 100,000 victims.
