Looking at the recent election in the USA it’s hard not to get caught up in the all pervasive hysteria both in traditional media and on social media.
When I venture to see what’s going on I tend to wonder, slack jawed, at the seismic shift taking place right underneath well, everything.
Up is down, left is right, every previous norm is back to front. The world is different now. There is no way back. To change course will mean a further, new and different course again, not going back to the future.
This is happening and I wonder how we far we have to go before a genuine alternative emerges.
Just as the right (whatever that means now) has prevailed with a motley crew of misfits, so the left (whatever that will come to mean) must find a genuinely new and authentic voice that can be heard to which the majority of people can actually relate.
Good luck to us all.
