This is about what I was thinking of posting too.
This political upset is a good thing, of course, it gives some breathing room in the otherwise inexorable slide into the globalist abyss.
The larger cities are the problem, in all western countries really, it’s the same thing, the politics of the larger cities are entirely out of touch with both the nations and reality. And the media represent only large urban interests. They don’t care if people have jobs or if the economy is rational; they don’t care if security or immigration policies are sane, and they don’t care about energy policy. All they care about is creating the make believe safe world for snowflakes, and city governments double down on this by marketing equally absurd political programs that are nothing more than fiction designed to soothe anxious people whose anxiety has been aroused by false narratives in the media.
The only long-term solution would be to disenfranchise the cities. If larger cities were treated like D.C., had no senators, and if also they had almost no federal representation, just their own crazy local governments, then the rest of the country could carry on with little or no further thought about the fate of the lost and doomed city folk. And the little colonies and hives of liberals in smaller towns (mostly around university campuses) would lose their support as the national political dialogue returned to a semblance of normalcy.
Exactly. Being forced to watch network tv news, having avoided it for years, over Thanksgiving weekend convinced me its job is to scare old people.
