The Pendulum of politics

As we see the start of Trump's presidency and how it has ignited extreme joy in many while sparking extreme hatred on the other side, why do most people that are upset not look at the reality of what has happened.

Politics in a representative republic will generally work like a pendulum. It always pulls back to center. Pull too far in one direction and you are just as sure to go back as far in the other.

Under Bush the pendulum swung similar to Clinton. However, once Obama took over,things swung so extreme left and so quickly that it was almost guaranteed to do the same in the opposite direction once he left.

Dranatic and rapid change will only ignite more rapid and dramatic change in the other direction. Once this happens, the momentum will tear the pendulum apart and thus the entire livelihood of nation.

This is what we are witnessing today. Not because of Trump, conservatives, or liberals. This is because extremists on both sides and in the end the massive majority in the middle which are center or a bit to one side or the other of it will suffer the most. We can only hope and pray for a miracle at this point.
