The political and social landscape of this country has been troublesome in recent years. The Tea Party broke through, radicalizing the political right, and then Trump hijacked that movement with MAGA, turning that radicalization up to crazy times one-hundred.
Because of this, I started putting some political opinions and not-so-opinions out into the world in the form of a podcast called Diving Deep back in 2020. Four years later, my ability to remain on a consistent political podcasting schedule just isn’t possible. And that’s a problem. Because as we made it through the most tumultuous and bizarre election season of our lifetime in 2024, we somehow came out the other side of it with an insurrectionist who promotes bigotry, hate, and false narratives as the undisputed winner.
I, like many others, are still in shock and mourning the potential death of democracy and our constitution. And even though I couldn’t find time to podcast on a regular basis, And in doing so, I also couldn’t remain silent. So here we are.
I will continue to speak up time to time, just now in the form of this blog; Political Geekery. Over time, I might consistently report on what is happening, and litter in some opinion pieces, or I might get in a few articles and then disappear for a bit. We’ll see as this new blog evolves.
I also don’t know how I will handle what is happening as I try to find peace with the reality of what is going on politically and socially while also finding time for my personal life that not only gives me peace and hope, but also fulfills my soul.
Either way, I hope you find what you are looking for when you visit. If not, I hope that the truths and opinions I share really set you off.
Welcome to a new chapter of geek. Welcome to Political Geekery.
