To understand the current political situation in the United States, one must grasp the important difference between a "complex" physical system and a "non-complex" physical system in the construction of a model of this system that is predictive of the outcomes of the political decisions that are made by the politicians of the Democratic and Republican parties respectively where, by the definition of terms, a "complex" physical system exhibits one or more "emergent properties," each of which is a property of the whole physical system and not of the separate parts of this system whereas a "non-complex" physical system exhibits no such properties.

The platform of the modern Democratic Party is based upon the cognitive error of mistaking a "complex" physical system for a "non complex" physical system in the construction of the model of this physical system that is used by Democratic Party Politicians in predicting the outcomes of the political events of the future for their constituents whereas the platform of the modern Republican Party makes no such mistake.

Los Altos Hills, the high school 130s football team that took the SCVAL trophy in 1961 because Santa Clara high School lost in a fluke to a nothing Los Gatos high school team.

I'm sure your post is brilliant, but to me, it makes no sense.

Cordially,

You are correct and I’m sorry to have offend you as Los Altos Hills is definitely a better apricot patch above Los Altos.
