Many political, religious and philosophical entities rely on violence, hatred, bullying, and harassment to convince and/or require agreement and/or subjugation.
It is clear evidence of the weakness of their position.
Only weak individuals and believers require this behavior to promote their arguments.
We have long known that we make decisions based on emotion versus facts.
It is difficult to convince someone that the “facts” of the situation should rule our decisions and actions under “normal” circumstances. With the worldwide onslaught of emotionally biased statements, we are challenged as to what to believe.
As was stated recently by the Chinese Media “…It is necessary to strengthen screening and identify what is true false information …”1
We have all become too accustomed to believing what we want, to support our own conclusions, regardless of the basis of that conclusion.
In the past, our country and political system became concerned about the alarming increase in presidential power relative to the Congress. Over time this concern has taken a back seat to the ongoing and increasing war of obstruction and destruction between the Republican and Democratic Parties.
As a result of the continuing lack of constructive attention to and resolution of our nations challenges, recent presidents have taken increasing and unbalanced power from the Congress.
This congressional power vacuum has allowed the Presidential power to amplify the degree of political polarization.
Executive actions taken by recent Presidents:
The concern here is the degree of political extremism in Congress combined with wide volatility in the executive actions; created and vacated by each President as the political party changes.
Combine the above with the rise of social media and extreme emotional nonfactual broadcasting of extreme views and beliefs, you have the perfect storm.
In the eye of the perfect storm is the Imperial President.
