What once seemed like pure political fantasy on the part of Washington D.C. insiders is looking a lot more plausible given the events of the past few months.
The big question for most of us isn't who to support in the political reassurance ritual.

Is it possible that the pandemic has mostly run its course and we're just going through the motions to prevent its spread? Did you see where nearly 11,000 students at a number of universities tested positive for Covid? Did you hear how NONE of them required hospitalization?

How far will the mask madness go? Every time I think we've hit the limits of craziness, someone says, "Hold my beer." In this case it's Wells Fargo bank who made a big mistake in trying to force the mask policy on Ammon Bundy's daughter.
Just because someone doesn't agree with you, doesn't mean you need to write them off. Kent McManigal has an excellent take on how new information is what changes minds and how to share that information without requiring someone to accept it immediately.
I encountered a young man yesterday wearing a t-shirt that said "Trump 2020 - Or we're f**ked". It seemed like an apt representation of the kind of tribalism that has become common during presidential elections. Barry Brownstein has a timely reminder that the president is not our national savior.

If there was ever a time to keep a healthy skepticism of government, it's right now. If there was ever an example of why that skepticism is necessary, it's the story of Uri Rafaeli whose home was stolen from him over an $8.41 tax debt.

Given the recent revelation that deaths caused solely by Covid-19 were far lower than originally thought, it's curious that there's still a major push for a mandatory vaccine.
