Think about it. Our forefathers (FF) set up the Constitution specifically to avoid tyranny and impositions from foreign interests. Let that concept sink in deeply before you read further.
So, a two-party system of liberal and conservative values is vital to the success and longevity of our nation; it's very health. The FF knew of the tendencies of the human mind to be prey to all sorts of aberrations. Either too liberal or too conservative. Having a government of pure liberalism or pure conservativism would be like having a set of internal organs missing a liver or a heart. The body would die either way.
What happened in the 2016 election might seem alarming at first. Even the GOP was alarmed: though it went in their favor. The real root of any nation's political winds are in the masses of People. And so, both dems and republicans politicians and their ranking sycophants and avid cult devotees were stunned. But they shouldn't be. They simply shouldn't be. Because they knew it was coming.
The balance between liberalism and conservativism is like a pendulum. A swinging pendulum of late. Swinging quite wildly. For 8 years now, in backlash to the Bush/Cheney swing, we've had such steeped liberalism that it swung way out into the dangerous netherlands of the patently bizarre. Think about it. We had a president order (like a King BTW) that girls in schools across the nation welcome male students into their showers, locker rooms and bathrooms. That's how bad it got. In Bush/Cheney, they lied to Congress, stole money from our Treasury and traded blood of our men and women for an oil monopoly (they thought) in the ME. Some even speculate that they created 911 as a means to grease the wheels to accomplish all that. Hence the wild swing to the left in direct proportion to all that. The daily mind can deny but the collective mind, deep in all of us always knows the real truth of what's going on. So, enter Obama as the wild swing in the opposite direction.
So, as the angst on the right became palpable, the boys-in-the-bathroom thing tipped the scales. After all, regular Americans (the ones who determine elections) had just seen Christians jailed and fined for refusing to play along with the cult of sexual perversions. The neo-religion of the 21st Century come to replace God's own. Something snapped. And that snap was the election map after Tuesday's election. Areas of the nation that had been blue for decades went red. More properly, red with anger.
But I issue a caution to republicans and conservatives everywhere, lest they think this is an article celebrating their values wholesale. Those of us in the middle like me don't play favorites. And, 2018 is just a very short time away. If you think you're going to strip the poor of healthcare or jobs, you're going to regret it. If you think you're going to push gas-guzzling SUVs & trucks while plants for the high-mileage compacts get shut down forcibly, while efficient cars face bogus recalls and are crushed, melted down and turned into SUVS, think again. If you think you're going to roll back early term abortions or the abortion pill, while you turn your backs on the unwanted children who come from single mothers and rape victims having to raise another generation without fathers...think again. For yours too is a cult; a cult of greed and extremism in blind religious thinking.
To close, I will leave the reader with examples of extreme thinking on either end of the spectrum....thinking that leaves the political party vulnerable to shock-elections like this one. It's time to do some heavy thinking of the sober variety; the type our FFs hoped we would use. And some celebrating. Hats off to our FF for anticipating our insanity and setting up a system to protect us from ourselves:
Liberal extremism (fresh in the mind eh?)
1. That two men or women = "mom and dad" for the kids that marriage was created for.
2. That Christians belong in jail or fined for standing up against #1.
3. Deranged males "belong" in women's showers, bathrooms and locker rooms.
4. That abortion should be legal up until apparently the child is 6 weeks old or older, born and breathing on its own.
5. That children should be sexualized as early as age 4 or 5 (transgender toddlers, teaching LGBT religion to elementary school kids "as normal", etc.)
Conservative extremism:
1. That abortion and even birth control should not be accessible to women at any stage of their pregnancy or before.
2. That unwanted babies should grow up without health care or a social safety net. (because abortions are almost always needed by women who have no husband or man around to help).
3. They lament fatherless children while simultaneously and stubbornly promoting #1 & #2.
4. That want unchecked pollution of the earth's environmental systems, including fracking (polluting with benzenes etc.) the last fresh water reserves we have in our nation.
5. That suppress non-carbon forms of energy (excluding nuclear which even the most insane person would not support), in favor of having to war in the middle east and pollute our last sources of drinking water in our country....forever...since you cannot do an underground hazardous waste cleanup near aquifers.
6. That it's OK to maximize profits by sending work and jobs overseas; while simultaneously lamenting "why are liberals so lazy!?"
The threat of another election 2016 looms equally for republicans. So take heart citizens, you are once again able to tell your leaders that YOU run the show. If a boy is in your daughter's bathroom at school, YOU have the power to stop that. If the drinking water in your tap is catching on fire, YOU have the power to stop that. The power is invested in YOU, as the FF intended so that we never ever would have to tolerate a totalitarian system of extremes in either direction.
They really were smart guys.
