If we were to empirically analogize, the “Nation,” the entity to which political scientists refer to as “The Body Politic,” the consternation and angst now suffered by the mainstream, traditional American citizen would be attenuated, and the salutary sense of optimism would reinstate itself.
During the natural course of Man’s life, he universally experiences anecdotal periods of discomfort, threatening, infirmity, or ill health. By fsr, the greater number and variety of such maladies, such as colds, flu, and indigestion, are temporal and are, by past similar experience, patiently and optimistically borne. Notwithstanding such confidence, pending its uncomfortable course, it is empirically productive of impatience, notably, as to the prevailing symptoms and at rare times, its sequelae.
The state of the body politic of our traditionally salubrious Nation is at present, demonstrably ill, being unfortunately beset by the dangerous, toxic, and insidious pandemic of autocratic”Trumpism,” an autocratic immune disorder, whose clinical etiology is empirically founded in a combination of demagoguery, an uninformed grievance-inclined gullible populism, financed by certain corrupt anti-regulation industrial polluters. The illness is notably systemic, presenting a ubiquitously pernicious undemocratic governmental incompetence and corruption, which has remarkably infected its systemic tri-partite architecture with democratic disability and unprecedented, shameless corruption.
It is in this contextual setting that the traditional mainstream citizen, concerned for the systemic health of his normally uniquely hearty and robust Democratic Republic, finds himself in an empirically justified state of fear and depression. It is in such an understandable and rationally justified state of mind that one is appropriately and salubriously, to be reminded of the ultimate empirically experienced and inevitable arrival of remission and restored health and vigor.
However, like many ubiquitously contagious diseases, such as strep throat, the presenting malady requires medicinal support for its amelioration and full recovery. In the contextual instance, the “penicillin” consists of a compound of faith, as opposed to a depressed resignation, and the affirmative articulation of political propriety, when possible and by whatever appropriate means present themselves; as well as the solicitous vote for candidates, local and federal.
With resolute faith and optimism, we look forward to the imminent happening of the inevitable, recovery of the American body politic, and the restoration to its primal. health. We would be extremely fortunate to find that the contextual illness has resulted in an immunative result.
