This is a vlog from one of my favorite contemporary philosophers, Baxter Black. I am posting it both to share some inspiration and to point to how fast the political tides are changing our country. Please enjoy this 2:30 video and see if you notice the two major shifts in our culture that have taken place in 9 short years since this was done in 2008
At 1:12 he says prejudices are fading. I think that was true in America in 2008 following the 9/11 attacks and the escalating efforts against terror. But the rise of Barack Obama and his own brand of divisive racial politics took us back by decades in just a few short years.
At 1:54 he mentions diverse opinions and says “as different as Bush and Clinton”. When he spoke those words in 2008 that may have been the case at the time - at least as far as appearances go. But, now as we watch President Trump fight the establishment to bring back America’s fading glory we are being shown that (as some people once told us) there is literally no difference between Bush and Clinton.
I think that together these two minute examples prove to be large and emphasize our obligation to support this president and help him succeed in draining the swamp.
Exactly. For decades we’ve been forced to choose between Democrat and Democrat-Lite.
There has not been this much shakeup since Reagan- and even he had to deal with a democrat Congress who lied about spending cuts.
