A few days reading and posting to talk.politics.misc has me
understanding how a nation winds up with a pair of bozos for
presidential candidates: both accurately reflect/represent the
split majority of those supporting them.

On one side: brain-dead believers of news media whose behavior
reflects senility.

On the other: brain-dead believers of news media whose behavior
reflects brash assholery.

Neither "if you're not with us, you're against us" stance can but
undermine society.

See also: the majority is hopeless for being hopelessly in the
throes of the mental illness called "ego", and thus incapable of
acting other than in/with self-interest - which is typically at
odds with a society's best interest.

Thank you, talk.politics.misc, for making it all so clear!
