But how could that ever come to be? A presidential or congressional
candidate who says "I will do nothing to address the most important social
issue of our age and I have no interest in the thing that makes you
​the ​
angriest" will simply never get
​
elected.
​ They'd rather vote for the first dimwit they find with ​loud voice who
promises simple solutions to complex problems.

Incidentally there is now about one chance in 4 that the revolver aimed at
our heads will go off a week from tomorrow.
