Commentary
This is a phenomenological, not a prescriptive exercise.
That is, I’m not advocating anyone or anything.
Rather, I want to understand and describe something tha’s happening or perhaps has already happened.
Something, I might add, that surprises me.
Also, something whose lineaments I’m not sure I quite understand.
It might be something in the nature of a political Gestalt shift, a sudden change in The Narrative that gains strength and adherents the longer it persists.
I wonder, though, whether it’s as definitive or as strong as it seems.
Perhaps it’s a temporary wrinkle in The Narrative rather than an unalterable change….
