Identity Politics and Our Loss of Rationality

“The split in America, rather than simply economic, is between those who embrace reason, who function in the real world of cause and effect, and those who, numbed by isolation and despair, now seek meaning in a mythical world of intuition, a world that is no longer reality-based, a world of magic.”  – Chris Hedges…

Disproving Misleading Statistics and Analyzing the Harm of Identity Politics

Figures such as Trump, Jordan Peterson, Ben Shapiro, or any number of right wing personalities have preyed upon the history and isolation of rural communities by either justifying their ingrained white supremacy, or presenting racist justifications for the nation’s problems that allow a group to direct their anger from American disenfranchisement at.

The GOP Opened Pandora’s Box and are Shocked we can’t go Back to Normal

When the Trump train rolled into Q central and truly went off the rails in 2017, people initially laughed off the cult’s influence on American politics. Many saw the rapidly growing group as a childish mash up of conspiracy theories pulled from across the lexicon of paranoia. Those who looked a bit deeper saw foundational…

America’s Futile System Fuels Festering Fascism and Violent Politics

This post is an ending as well as a beginning, and it took me longer than I would like to admit to find the proper wording and explanations for the arguments I make. It marks the conclusion of the 4th New Federalist series concerning identity politics, but will combine themes from past discussions in order…
