Magnetism is a great way to understand our current political environment.
Like attracts. Opposite repels. The pendulum effect explains an anomaly, the diminution of one pole to its opposite. Balance and harmony are achieved as the arch is completed.
The jerks are random elements such as Maxine and Mitt pulling and pushing the axis of the arch. Waves diminish as jerks are countered by stronger pushback.
The Donald provides a balancing effect by pushing back harder than the jerk, thereby cancelling and defeating the jerk.
This is the universal theory of dynamics.
