S07/E23: Chaos Loves Company...

Chaos loves company is a classic phrase. It’s often used to suggest that people who are feeling chaotic or troubled might seek out others in similar situations, perhaps because it feels validating or comforting. In a broader sense, it can also reflect the idea that chaotic situations can amplify one another, making things even more turbulent.

In the context of American politics, “chaos loves company” can be interpreted as a reflection of how political turbulence often attracts or generates more controversy and conflict. The idea is that political chaos—be it scandals, contentious debates, or shifting alliances—can draw in more drama and tension, creating a cycle where instability breeds more instability.

For example, high-stakes political battles or scandals can lead to increased media coverage, partisan divisions, and public outrage, all of which can further exacerbate the chaos. In this sense, the chaos feeds off itself and attracts more of it, as people and institutions get caught up in the whirlwind of conflict and controversy.

No matter how this 2024 election turns out, there will be chaos. Will America be better or worse off for it? Will Donald Trump be behind bars where he belongs? What kind of President of the United States would Kamala Harris make? America is at a cross roads. How do you see America in the next decade? Will we be stronger in the world or greatly diminished?
