Impending political divorce: irreconcilable differences

Among the most compelling drivers of our impending, national, “irreconcilable differences” divorce is the way we view politicians. Nowhere is this chasm wider than in considerations of Donald Trump, whose mere existence has spawned a deadly contagion: Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS). Pausing to consider these approaches may be instructive.

Republicans/normal americans: also recognized are Republicans in Name Only (RINOS), Never Trumpers and a few other sub-species. They have a healthy suspicion of politicians. They’re constantly being burned by politicians who talk a good game, but once elected develop Pasta Spine Syndrome (PSS). They expect all politicians to be fools, criminals and fast-talking grifters. However, they’re willing to be pleasantly surprised, just as they were with Donald Trump.

They tend to worship the one God, so they don’t see politicians as Divine, quite the opposite. They tend to call such idolatry what it is: blasphemy, though the term is, these days, underused. They do, however, see the Constitution as something approaching gospel.
