 Greetings good citizen, the schism that divides societies around the globe is being driven by the corporate-owned media's reframing of the decision-making process into an 'us vs. them' equation

Thanks to the stupidity that is conservatism, the clueless that routinely fail to think or consider the facts. Under the current environment, those who disdain thinking for feeling would object to being characterized as incapable of deciding but it is this lack that is being exploited by the opportunists who routinely deceive those who dislike/have a limited capacity for either reason or logic, often falling back on that useful ruse 'common sense' which is whatever excuse the exploiters fed them to confuse their sensibilities.

That paragraph alone is too difficult for the typical conservative to parse, again shining a blinding white light on the root of the problem.

What root is that you might ask?

We let stupid people participate in the decision-making process. [full stop: this is not hatred, it is TRUTH!]

We would not allow the incompetent to perform complex medical procedures or repairs on critical equipment so it only stands to REASON that we shouldn't permit people who neither know (or care) what is important participate in the decision-making process.

While we all know people who are ardent (often vocal) Trump supporters, we also know, by observation, that those individuals are RARE. If you're THAT DUMB Darwin eliminates you, chronic stupidity is almost always fatal.]

The self-serving have no interest in living in a rational society because a rational society would modify the commerce system to reflect reality. [Can't recognize reality? Chances are you're simply misinformed and not fatally stupid although the feckless opportunists push the line as hard as they can!]

At some remote corner of your mind, you recognize that you are routinely fed ridiculous to make what you are forced to accept seem 'reasonable' or the least worse compromise.

Let's return to today's title, shall we?

What do sports have to do with politics?

Our DUMB conservatives believe [because they are INCAPABLE of 'thinking' (about ANYTHING!)] that the parties are 'teams' and all they care about is beating the other team!

People unable to register the difference between a 'party' and a 'team' are TOO STUPID to be allowed to VOTE!

Humanity can't afford the participation of the easily manipulated, our very survival hangs in the balance.

Thanks to the few who are still capable of rational thought for allowing me to visit and communicate with your mind (your feelings are the last thing anybody should be worried/concerned with given the circumstances.)
