Are we, the American public, like people watching a train wreck about to happen?
It's a feeling I've increasingly had of late as the election nears: the rapidfire commentaries and meta-commentaries, the journalistic/Big Media manipulation (both rightward and leftward), the writhings and cawings of the different blogospheric camps... and beneath it all, a whiff of something like morbid curiosity, like we're all on the train, barrelling down the tracks, watching the other train head toward us, too fascinated by the thought of impact to consider jumping off into the tall green grass whipping by.

READ THIS BEFORE COMMENTING!
All comments are subject to approval before they are published, so they will not appear immediately. Comments should be civil, relevant, and substantive. Anonymous comments are not allowed and will be unceremoniously deleted. For more on my comments policy, please see this entry on my other blog.
AND A NEW RULE (per this post): comments critical of Trump's lying must include criticism of Biden's or Kamala's or some prominent leftie's lying on a one-for-one basis! Failure to be balanced means your comment will not be published.
