this morning #407.

this morning, polarization had pulled him way off to one side. he tried to think back & pinpoint the moment when everything had shifted & his reaction to everything that the other side thought was dire disgust. where he saw their pathetic lack of knowledge, they saw his radical lack of reality. for him, the political pivot point could’ve came from any one of a number of initiating events—the protests, the election, the sudden spike in job losses. maybe it wasn’t a moment at all. maybe it was the combination of all these forces & more weighing on him until he looked up & noticed that he’d slowly slid across the room & into a corner. maybe it didn’t matter. he knew he was right.
