If you're old enough, and not yet reduced to living-in-the-moment drooling, you notice that most political "journalism" is this sort of ephemeral click-bait. Full of weak but button-pushing reasons why the world is about to change in whatever way the author's theory du jour claims that it will...and somehow stay that way. But in a day, or week, or maybe a bit longer, it'll be just another page of bird-cage liner. (For a while, back around 2000, I kept my backissues of a very upscale, expensive, and "educated" weekly newsmagazine, to see if any of their weekly columnists could usefully predict the future. Hahahaha - NOPE.)
