My background education has trained me to analyze systems, to study behavior, and to understand how institutions evolve over time. What that lens has made undeniably clear is this:

The political landscape in 2026 is not what it was in 2016—and it is certainly not what it was in 2006.

And yet, most people are still arguing as if nothing has changed.
