Venning the election
The old labels of liberal and conservative have been meaningless for a century. We need new axes on the graph.
X-axis is External Behavior. Does the government focus on bombing other countries and giving all jobs to other countries (Neocon) or does the government focus on NOT bombing anyone and giving all jobs to Americans (Populist)?
Y-axis is Internal Behavior. Satan to Non-satan in my terminology. Does the government insist on breaking all laws of Nature and Science (Satan), or does it leave Nature to Nature (Non-satan)?
This year's election was supposed to be a choice with no axes at all. Jeb vs Hillary. Both solidly neocon, both solidly Satan. (Jeb liked to make non-Satan noises, but in practice he always served Satan.)
That didn't happen. Surprised me as much as anyone else. I was firmly convinced this year would be Jeb and Hill, with Jeb "winning" because it was his turn.
Now we will probably end up with Trump vs Hillary. Clear Neocon vs Populist, not so clear on the Satan axis. Trump basically doesn't give a fuck about the Satan stuff, so I fuzzed out his icon in that direction.
But the last combination, which is the most interesting of all, is becoming more likely.
Two Populists, differing mainly on the Satan axis. Bernie is all for LGBTQQ2ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOP, all for "Global Warming", solidly against religion.
