How to Prevent Any Progress (The American Method)

The one thing most Americans can agree on is that a large portion of the population seems to be trying to destroy the country. We just can’t agree on which portion it is.

In engineering, there’s a principle that having structural elements work in direct opposition to one another can lead to a stronger overall structure. Buckminster Fuller used to name his projects with the name Dymaxion, which was made up from parts of the words dynamic, maximum, and tension. I don’t know if anyone has formally applied this principle to politics, but I can attest that this presidential election has been quite dynamic, and, for me, has caused maximum tension.
