Let's track some of Donald Trump's solutions to problems: Give Hurricane victims paper towels (to sop it up), rakes to wildfire fighters (make America rake again), teaching kids to look at solar eclipses (they're too smart for that), and asking for global warming in cold winters.
This is the perfect asymptotic approach to the extremes of both Republican and Democratic rhetoric (which are both inevitably devoid of any sound logic) - you eventually get presidents like this. This is a warning call to dissolve the Republican and Democratic parties.
It seems to me our nation is now tossed between two insane extremes, bickering and arguing with each other, embodied in the Republican and Democratic parties. When you get extremist politicians who adhere fully to broken logic and rhetoric, our future is laid waste.
New parties must emerge soon. For fun, I propose a new party : "Uniters" and call the other parties "Dividers" (Republicans and Democrats). We can say that the Uniters believe in uniting people rather than dividing people.
That implies that one 'dominant' world view cannot prevail (including the illusion that we are in fact a set of states United right now) - we have to work and labor hard together to fulfill the promise the founders sought to build this country upon.
If a worldview is in fact that we should Divide, say it clearly. That is why I call the existing parties the Dividers. Let's call out the flawed logic and rhetoric - the Republicans and Democrats alike say the world is flat and one-dimensional.
That somehow their worldview brings peace and prosperity to this nation. Yet, if you start to take apart the logic and rhetoric deeply, it is always exclusionary in one way or another, bashing a segment of the population. I am not bashing the people in these parties.
They are prisoners, thinking they must serve under insane dictators (the rhetoric of the party they serve as they think it is the only way) - they are brainwashed so to speak - they can't see beyond this framework of thought. Some are totally converted.
There is another way though - let's get back to the bare elements. Let's picture our country's founders gave us an amazing country with a solid constitution and a bill of rights. Let's forget these two parties exist and seek to dissolve them within 20 years. Else, revolution.
