The Differently Devoted Left and Right
We all have our devoted followings. We call it loyalty. Undying support. For sports teams and companies and obviously our loved ones. And clearly, this also applies to partisan politics more than ever these days. The partisan lean of the…
Is Artifical Intelligence Terrifying Yet?
Skynet, The Matrix, and Blade Runner, oh my! We’ve all been subjected to horror stories about sentient machines that alter or end our society of meat puppets. How close are we, though? Because it’s absolutely real, I promise. In our…
Opinions versus Life Science
It really amuses me that the entire “anti-vax” movement began as a Hollywood liberal, rich suburban mom movement —then somehow migrated to being a far right wing stance. Wow, that was quick. Sort of mirrored the “video games make kids…
How Bad is Biden vs Trump?
Congratulations! We’ve successfully done it. We’ve allowed a divided nation to literally love and hate opposing sides that basically embrace the exact same systems. Successes and failures seem to be mirror images between the Dems and Repubs, but devotion and…

What the Hell is the Conservative Right in 2020?
As a typical kid growing up in the 80’s and 90’s, I just looked at guys like Reagan, Bush Sr, and Clinton as regular presidents. I didn’t think about political parties. By the time I was old enough to actually…
An Open Inquiry About Your Favorite POTUS
Occasionally at night, I’ll awake with a question that bounces around my head like a game of Pong until I write it down. In this case, it just happens to strictly apply to the one half of America that won’t…
