Beyond the Kubler-Ross maelstrom of denial, anger,
depression, etc., besetting this spavined republic, lies the actual
grief provoking it all — especially the shocking loss of
national purpose embodied by the muppets and puppets onstage nightly
vying to bring out the worst in us in an election season far from just
silly. Judging from their demeanor in the so-called debates, the
candidates seem not only sick of their opponents but of themselves, a fitting outcome perhaps in a nation that hates what it has become.
When truth and reality become de-linked, a society literally doesn’t know what it is doing.
With that goes the collective sense of purpose, replaced with bromides
and platitudes such as Trump’s “make America great again,” and Hillary’s
“In America, every family should feel like they belong.”
