ALL RIGHT WORDLE
Left, Right, Wrong
I don’t care where you sit, just please accomplish something
Today’s Wordle answer just begs for a political article. I prefer humor writing and I would rather leave the more serious topics to those who are better at writing about it. But when the prompt is RIGHT in front of me, I am afraid that I can’t resist.
But before I do, is it scary that when I see the word RIGHT my thoughts immediately go to politics rather than correctness, or even directions?
And while I was doing minimal research on this topic, I learned that the terms that we often use, “RIGHT and LEFT”, to define the political spectrum actually originate in the French Revolution with those loyal to the king seated to the RIGHT. So… good company there.
Furthermore, if you actually look at the seating chart in the Senate chamber (above), the Democratic party is actually seated to the RIGHT of the Senate leadership. It is only when viewed from the back of the chamber (where the public may view) that the Republicans are on the RIGHT. It’s traditionally the same in the House of Representatives, though seats in that chamber are not specifically assigned as they are in the Senate.
It is only in view of THE PEOPLE, that those who SERVE US in Congress should be viewed as either RIGHT or LEFT.
In view of the leadership in that hallowed chamber, they should not subscribe to those emotionally-charged labels and instead should be more willing to work TOGETHER. They should be able to wave at the people seated on their side of the chamber while extending their other hand to shake with esteemed colleagues across the aisle. They should be the leaders in rational thought, cooperative discourse and diplomacy. They should be the best versions of us.
Instead, their agendas seem to be wholly focused on damaging the other half of the house and on who can shout the best insults. Which, according to Wikipedia, is the reason that they had to be separated in the first place.
