PHILOSOPHY BOOK FOR THE 21 ST CENTURY
People are always talking of the culture war now. Liberals vs conservatives. But I mean politics is no longer about that. Before the party who got elected used to have the best program. Then it used to have the best and most charismatic leader. Now people are just voting according to which party they think have the least repulsive partisans. So while people are not actually right wing or left wing they look around them and see who they can identify the most with and who they like the least: The crazy gun owning guy with the Condederate flag on his t-shirt or the hairy East Coast lesbian who teach PE classes? The black guy with conservative values on the down low or the drag queen collecting British royalty stuff? The grand mother who still make those great cookies believe in God but doesn't go to church or the church going atheist socialite who just want to check out if her rival will dare wearing the same Prada shoes two sundays in the same year?
