I base this on the increasing amount of horrible country music my band is now forced to play on jobs. Not a politically scientific basis for conclusion, but...there it is. That said, I do see such alarming attempts of groups to control which narratives are "allowed" (in a country that is supposed to be based on freedom of expression) that I begin to truly be afraid of what sort of a country my sons will some day know.

I think the next election will be between the two narratives, as much as between the two parties. The changing demographics seem to be on the side of the Democrats, but the astonishing vitriol against Obama (who from the outside, has been a success in many ways) may see a Republican revival.Steerforthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07627936539372313828noreply@blogger.com
