I've always liked a quote from the theologian Reinhold Neibuhr: "the great ethical divide is between those who want to be pure and those who want to be responsible." 2024's voters were ethically divided by neither. They simply wished to feel good about themselves by abandoning any sense of their nation's past or their chosen leader's intentions. They were an electorate addicted to words as an indicator of actions. And while Democrats continually embraced misplaced joy and Republicans perennially embraced misplaced anger, both expected the nation's future to evolve around nothing more substantial than the efficacy of their memes. What's worse, everyone seemed relieved to participate in yet another election predicated on vagaries vs. barbarous specifics.
