Will AOC run for president.

34. I have a weird feeling both parties break

They'll still be the main two parties in American politics - that seems unalterable. It just feels like neither of them are prepared for what is happening now. Not just Trump. The age of automation, the economic changes, the technological changes. Both parties groan and creak in an attempt to bestir themselves and can't seem to slough off the heft of age or the calcification in their joints.

And it feels like everyone senses it. Schumer and the CR felt like watching a scene in a movie you already know the conclusion to, but it's happening in slow motion, and no one's turning the projector off any time soon.

And once that census hits . . . it feels like a reshuffling is in the offing. What that looks like, I have no idea. I am not as optimistic as I once was. I think social media have thickened politics into an apotheosis of dumb tribalism. There is no agile thinking, no adaptation, no wiliness, no energy, no joy in the breaking of the old and creating the new.

It's just going to be the same old shit until we ease ourselves into the car crash.

When the country is starting to look at John Roberts as the only thing that can save us, well, isn't it interesting how we got here?
