Don’t put too much stock in all those New Year’s predictions you’re hearing and seeing about American politics in 2020. Anyone saying they know what will happen is probably just trying to get our attention.
And probably succeeding. We’ve all fallen for headlines and clickbait proclaiming foreknowledge of events. We do it for sports, the stock market and just about any other outcomes that cannot be foreseen.
That goes for elections — especially for elections – and particularly in a high-stakes, pivotal cycle such as we are in now. CONT.
