Erick, I listened to a C-SPAN interview with a blowhard from the Atlanta Constitution named Greg Bluestein - have you ever interviewed him on your radio show? I'd love to hear you mop the floor with his perfect leftwing platitudes about dastardly Repubs and the noble Stacey Abrams/Wornock Dems turning the state blue.
"All are strange but me and thee, and sometimes I'm not so sure about thee." The more we learn about our genetics, the more one learns re how different we all are as individuals. Even if one is an identical twin, now that they found there is a Nano layer within our genetic structure. I googled that topic and learned far more than anticipated.
Intellectual inbreeding, as you so appropriately call it, is also the epitome of laziness and safety. It's much easier to repeat and retweet the comments of intellectual giants like Debra Messing, Bette Midler, and Joyless Behar than to do the research, form your own opinion, and risk being ostracized. Group-think at its best. The good news is that the lemmings tend to follow each other over the cliff, so we have THAT to look forward to!
Part of the problem is that even when they do their own research, they focus only on sources that add support to what they've already heard/read. They wouldn't dare look beyond the accepted sources of information to get another side.
A progressive once posted a long, fairly incomprehensible statement of why his ideology regarding "forced financial reparations from beneficiaries of slavery to address the iniquity of generational income inequality" was superior to that of conservatives advocating free market capitalism and equal opportunity and ended it with a snarky "look up the big words, if you are even capable of reading them."
I responded to his post with a critique of his "irredeemable descent into sesquipedalianism"...and he instantly blocked me.
Beware....we know how to put tires and steering wheels on them there septic tanks...and we are coming to Georgia! That is why I moved to Florida. All kidding aside, I hope your analysis is right. I keep telling myself that the people of this country put the current people into office either through voting or failure to vote. We own the mess that is now confronting us. I hope enough of us are so bothered by the $4.67 gas that will be pushing $6 by election day, that we spend the money to get to the poles so we can make a change. Here's hoping that the change actually makes a difference. Here is to hoping that we all get to vote for something./someone and not just against something/someone. We need a positive vision for what can be done, not just a pain induced euphoria hoping something will be done. November 2022 is both a short time and a long time in coming. 2024, well that is still a long way away. Here's hoping we are given the grace and mercy to make it to then. I hope we still have jobs by then, and food on the table and roofs over our heads.

I had to look it up, BTW... :)
HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!! The social networking equivalent of devolving into name-calling!!
Look at the mast head--over time--of the mainstream media. It is a carousel.
