Be afraid. Be very afraid.

It's 2016.

In addition to being a leap year, it's also an election year.

That alone makes me cower, but reading what's happening out there in the primaries? I cannot write the depth of my shudder. I simply don't have the words.

And for the five of you who will read this, whether you're conservative or liberal, registered Democrat or Republican...you should be scared.

Absolutely nobody out there is going to be good for this country who is presently running.

There's a reason for this, and it's an incredibly simple reason:
TOO MUCH INFORMATION.

Nobody who SHOULD run the country is going to be ABLE to run for the presidency, let alone run the country. We know too much, and people find things out, and now we have this great medium by which people can find out nearly ANYTHING.

In THIS culture:

• Reagan doesn't get elected (back door policies in relation to Iran uncovered before he ever hits office)
• FDR doesn't get elected (wife is a lesbian; he would look ineffectual and be called a socialist)
• Kennedy doesn't get elected (are you kidding?!?!?!?!?)
• Nixon doesn't get elected (again: are you kidding?!?!?!?!?)
• Clinton doesn't get elected (for ten thousand reasons)

I'm not saying any of the above should have been elected or not. I'm saying that in this culture, none of them would have been. The only ones I can say for sure WOULD still be elected are Jimmy Carter (because the country needed to cleanse the palate after the Nixon debacle) and Eisenhower (because the country was ready for a change after 20 years of Democrats in the White House). 

EVERYBODY in politics is dirty. Yes, BernBros, EVERYONE. It's the question of the person who might have some sort of soul still left and enough brain to put it to good use for the good of this nation. It's why Giuliani won't run...he knows he'd never win because he'd get pulled through the mud. But in terms of brain, he's a better choice than just about everyone currently out there. And in a population-exploding, refugee-crisis, EU-shutting-down, Zika-scare world, we need someone with a lot of brain who will wisely be surrounded by other people with lots of brain. 

NONE of these morons are trustworthy. ALL of them have major issues. Who are you going to trust? We're learning that nobody in power is worthy of it--because to get there, you must be corrupted. Plain and simple. 

For those of you from my subculture, you know I'm not an End Times person. I'm not. I just don't know if it's the end times for THIS country. 

No wonder I want to stick my head in the sand and go pet my dog.
