A Sense of Doubt blog post #3353 - Difficult to See the Truth - BATMAN - THAT ONE THING for 2404.23


Does this image really need commentary to apply it to our current national situation?

Divisive politics has become a national epidemic much more deadly than Covid-19.

And divisive politics are not a new thing.

Ever since people who wanted different things existed, there has been a divide.

Though associated with governance, broadly defined, what we often mean by "politics" refers to the "often internally conflicting interrelationships among people in society" (FREE DICTIONARY via AMERICAN HERITAGE dictionary).

Squabbles have turned heated and deadly through American history and even governmental history worldwide.

But there was détente for most of the decades of my life, at least compared to now.

I have written about this issue a lot since 2020 in my WEEKLY HODGE PODGE posts and in my category: THE STATE OF THE HATE NATION.

For example, ALSO, I was confronted in the local grocery by a rabid nut-job who wore his shirt with its hateful and inflammatory slogan (which I think is pathetic) to the store just hoping someone would say something. I said nothing but apparently "looked hostile."

A Sense of Doubt blog post #2531 - Verbally assaulted by maskless guy wearing "Let's Go Brandon" hoodie in grocery store

We used to at least be civil to each other most of the time.

I would debate people about how America unjustly invaded Iraq backed by the lies of George W Bush and Dick Cheney about weapons of mass destruction that didn't exist, but we could agree to disagree and debate heatedly with some general good feeling that may not be unanimity but was not relationship ending. No one threatened to gun me down for my liberal views. And I wasn't being shouted at in grocery stores or by rabid, mouth foaming anti-Vaxxers picketing on the highway overpass.

And the government is not better. Many of those elected to governing are not governing; they are stoking the divisive fires to raise money.

What Batman says here is very true.

We have a lot of people ready to riot with their torches and pitchforks as they already have in 2020, in 2021, and now in 2024 over Palestine, or Trump, or the southern border.

This is the Pax Romana for America.

Unless we come together, we will come apart, and Nero will watch Rome burn.

Here's a bit more content.

Thanks for tuning in!

I gathered all the HODGE PODGES in one post, here:

- Days ago = 3217 days ago

- New note - On 1807.06, I ceased daily transmission of my Hey Mom feature after three years of daily conversations. I plan to continue Hey Mom posts at least twice per week but will continue to post the days since ("Days Ago") count on my blog each day. The blog entry numbering in the title has changed to reflect total Sense of Doubt posts since I began the blog on 0705.04, which include Hey Mom posts, Daily Bowie posts, and Sense of Doubt posts. Hey Mom posts will still be numbered sequentially. New Hey Mom posts will use the same format as all the other Hey Mom posts; all other posts will feature this format seen here.
