I estimate that nearly half of the people who will give their vote to the Republican or Democratic party's nominees in next year's Presidential election, will do so because they believe that the other party's nominee would be the worst thing to ever happen to the United States were they to be elected.
This is especially true if the respective parties nominees are the current frontrunners, Hillary Clinton and Rudy Giuliani.
It is not much of an exaggeration to say that the Republican base voters truly expect a President Hillary to double taxes on everyone, eliminate the ability of insurers, doctors, and pharmaceutical companies to make money, and appoint lawyers from GLAAD to the Supreme Court.
Conversely, the Democrat's base voters expect a President Giuliani to place policemen on every street corner who will beat and sodomize with their batons every person caught not wearing an American flag lapel pin, when he isn't busy dropping nuclear weapons on muslims.
This is the "politics of fear". But it is also grounded in self-interest and far too much Truth.
Both would, and will, use the power of the State to coerce scores of millions of Americans into living under laws and paying for government programs with which they violently disagree.
As always, the owners of the United States who hire Presidents, will not only escape untouched, they will profit from whoever is in office.
And they will call it "democracy".
Will you still believe it?
