How to make sense of the upcoming presidential election?
Those of us reared on reason, logic, and basic human decency find ourselves a bit befuddled these days, trying to make sense of what is rapidly devolving into a Grand Guignol of political, moral, and cultural horrors. As if the elevation of an underqualified and unelected candidate, Kamala Harris, to the role of national savior wasn’t enough, we gawk at our media in amazement and witness debates that, not very long ago, would’ve seemed patently absurd. Should a nation have borders? Should it keep convicted felons from ambling in whenever they please? Should males announce themselves to be female, saunter into the women’s locker room at will, and compete freely in women’s sports? Should we have a police force, and, if so, should our cops be permitted to uphold law and order?
