From Capt. Fogg at Human Voices:
Seems like most politics these days ( and everything is politics) involves creating a bubble, a frame of reference that doesn’t necessarily have a one to one relationship with the world as an outsider might see it. Many of those Republicans for whom Obama is a “disaster” and Hillary is a “trainwreck” inhabit a place where the economy is bad and getting worse, where freedom is being eroded and where America is no longer “great.” That makes it easy to support things that drag down economies, erode freedom and make the world hate us. The “tyrant’ Obama has taken no guns, created millions of jobs, and all the dire predictions are still dire, but unfulfilled, or they are from outside that bubble anyway.
But that’s a cheap shot, or an easy one at least, it’s harder to see such things in your own bubble.
