Politics does not dictate our collective cultural mindset as much as it simply reflects it; We've got to look in the mirror sometimes, and we've got one.
A True Presidential Landslide Is Impossible to Win
Pundits from both sides are predicting a Trump landslide in 2020 if the Democrats nominate a socialist and communist sympathizer with Bernie Sanders. The Left is so dug in with their hate of President Trump that it won’t matter. Politicians on the Left support his radical ideas but don’t have the guts to say it. That’s why Sanders is so popular and the Left will vote for anyone but Trump.

A Mainstream Media Member Admits Bias On Camera
The mainstream media continue pretending they don’t promote a left-wing agenda. They scoff at the idea they don’t deliver an unbiased perspective. This happens when you live in an echo chamber or surrounded by groupthink. The media have been biased for decades. This is getting exposed and people are going elsewhere for their news.

Globalization versus Nationalism
Globalization can be said to be a brainchild of the phenomenon known as Nation-Sates, a building block of nationalization itself. However, new dimensions are added to the debate between the two notions and hence it has become a this versus that debate with both sides having some viable opinions to back itself.

Prediction Review
A month ago, I posted a prediction on how the primaries through Super Tuesday would go. How did I do? February 3: Iowa (41 delegates): While Sanders did win the popular vote, Buttigieg won a small margin in the SDE count. Based on significant errors at many caucus sites (per the NY Times), the best guesstimate is that Sanders and Buttigieg tied in delegates.

On This Day in 2016!!
Tuesday March 1st, Terry McAuliffe was the 72nd Governor of Virginia, Paul Fraim, Norfolk’s Mayor since 1994 was in four months to the day preparing to ride off into the political sunset, and this was day I told the world, via Facebook, I was heading to the polls for the 2016 Super Tuesday Elections. I expressed my excitement with a photo, the one attached to this blog post here. It was special to me. This was my 4th time voting in a presidential election, and my first time attending a rally connected to same. I was hyped, scared, confused, and embarrassed to show it. I remember arriving to Lake Taylor High School, Monday February 29, that was also the last time we had a leap year, which if I can take this side note, because I find it fascinating, EVERY PRESIDENTIAL RACE falls on the same year as LEAP YEAR.... 😳😳😳 now back to work..

Should Men Lose The Right To Vote?
I think it is vitally urgent to the survival of mankind for us to realize one important truth: all men are capable of evil. That isn't to say that every man is evil, but in the right circumstances, we will do what we have to to stay alive. We are capable of evil now, we were most certainly capable of evil in the past, and we will be capable of evil in the future. Men, sometimes we rape, pillage, go to war, murder, thieve and plot against those we wish to topple. We are the hunters, and we find prey, even when there is none to be found. Us men will create prey from our own brethren, and we will then hunt, kill and cuckold, just out of boredom sometimes. That's just what men do, have done, and always will do.

America's march towards Right Wing Fascism.
It's November 1972. Nixon just decimated the Democratic hopeful George McGovern by a 23 point margin in the popular vote. McGovern ran on a platform advocating for the withdrawal from the Vietnam War in exchange for American POWs and amnesty for draft evaders who had left the country. He also included a 37% reduction in defense spending over the next 3 years, and a "demogrant" program aiming to replace the personal income tax exemption with a $1,000 tax credit as a minimum income floor for every American citizen, in order to replace the bureaucracy of the existing public assistance programs. McGovern also supported the ratification of the Equal Rights Amendment - which has still not been ratified. The establishment favored the more moderate Ed Muskie.
