Election Absurdity

The fellow quoted at left makes the same point that I have, repeatedly, over the past two years: it’s absurd that there is overwhelming evidence that one of the candidates running for president in November tried to overthrow the U.S. federal government.

Of course, this happens with great regularity all around the globe.  In the developing world, free and fair elections in which well-informed voters cast ballots that are honestly counted are rare, if they exist at all.

The only shocking part of what’s happening here and now in America is that this country, in its 248th year, has no history of behaving as if its people were almost completely uneducated and impoverished, led by some tyrant or a military dictatorship.

It’s a tragic period.  Let’s admit that and get used to regarding it as such.
