Sometimes you are lost in a weird land of causation, correlation, fixed conclusions. This historical purview comes out of fretting off of Biden’s electoral chances and what Arabs and Muslims in Michigan might do relating to policy objectives with Israel and Palestine, the current wedge issue du jour liable to spurt Colonel West and Jill Stein’s vote tallies, liable to create more non-voters, even liable to skip to Trump. A funny thing on this one. If it is the case that they shift votes — how are we going to drill it down to this one issue? Before the current war footing in Israel, we have seen a different fretting on the vote in relation to the culture issues, i.e. — epitomized by the new story (a false framing that it be — by definition of terms) of the city council in Hamtramck, Michigan “ban”ning the “Pride Flag”. (They did no such thing. They banned the Price Flag in the same sense that they banned the Oregon State flag — as in they are merely not displaying it.) Say whatever you wish about the matter –friction is exposed, a “wedge issue” comes in, and — this either would be “the” reason for faltering support to the Democratic ticket — a constituency which cast their vote for Bush in 2000 of that means anything to you — or it isn’t. It is hard to say.

These days, as the city of Portland gets negative press in this twentied in the manner it garnered positive press through the oughts and teens — some woo-hooing comes from a “right” in Target closing. Curious. Just a summer ago that seemed to be what they were aiming for — because they were selling too much trans- crap. Should Target shut down a store in Ogden, Utah would they be high-fiving a victory for Ogden or poo-pooing Ogden? Causation, correlation, politics.
