facets of evolutionary dissonance

---

Who in the U.S. isn’t tired of the presidential election season? And I’m despaired about the degree of appeal that fascist Trump has in the world’s most “advanced” (pluralist) “democracy” (federation, which eludes the E.U.). (Nordic nations work well politically because they’re much more—still—ethnically homogeneous.)

Among many comments I make weekly at Washington Post articles,
this article on truthlessness in our politics caused this comment today, which implicitly laments the developmental relativity of political sense. (“FEMA” there is the Federal Emergency Management Administration,)

(The uneditable comment’s mention of "...wage stability" should have been "...price stability and wage growth.")

Actually, we’re a continental society (rather than nation) of metropolic gravities (outdating state lines, somewhat) with huge stretches of rural life balking at so much voluntary immigration energizing non-metro economies, which evinces xenophobia and want of protection from globalism (thus, Trumpism), as well as defense against secular progres-
sivism which requires tolerance of alien kinds of pluralism (cultural and psychological) which “real men” don’t want from a woman leader (the upshot of the “protection” article linked above).

Evolutionary dissonances between 21st century techumanity and 19th century cultures (merely 3 generations past: pre-WW-II, though a cultural hisorian may quibble) may be too much for too many minds.

In short, Future Shock is a perpetual feature of Our accelerating evolutionarity.
