So many fine adages here: "In the absence of knowing, all is possible"; "Even with shit for brains one can speak from the gut"; " When has the sea been anything but sincere?" 😈

This was great. I think I'm in the 5% of the world that gets this, but I still couldn't really define what the 'vibe shift' is.

i think it’s too many things to be definable. hence the very narrow angle of my reflection. nice to have you in the 5%!

“ So we're sincere at scale again, maybe for the first time since 2009, after it became clear that Hope was for fools and Change wasn't coming (thanks, Obama!)”

It has NOTHING to do with all of the OTHER men who did everything in their power to stop everything President Obama proposed? A LOT of people only see what they want to see when it comes to their own.

Stop. Just STOP and learn to accept responsibility for your own actions and inactions.

“Thanks, Obama” is a meme phrase that’s often used satirically. I’m using it as a joke in this context, and I mostly agree with what you’re saying.

The reality check of going home to a small town to really know what a vibe shift is or isn’t.
