The last thing I need is another pair of sunglasses. So why did I find myself on Amazon the other day shopping for a new pair? Partly the hoarder in me. Also, partly the prepper in me. I stash an extra pair of glasses in my car, travel backpack, and purse, just in case.
“Just in case what?” you may be asking, like my husband always does. “And what does this have to do with Trump and the polarization effect?”
I’ll answer the first question, well…first. Then I’ll get to my new theory about Trump and why so many can’t see him for the awful human he really is.
The Importance of Shades
On two different occasions while traveling, I’ve broken a pair of sunglasses and didn’t have a spare on hand. Sunglasses aren’t just a fashion accessory. They’re a necessity for my sensitive peepers. I quite literally have trouble seeing without them.
Rather than waste time tracking down a new pair or risking having to pay exorbitant prices (both scenarios have happened), I prefer to be prepared, just in case.
Also, lately I’ve realized some of my sunglasses are too dark for certain types of overcast days. On super gloomy days, I can sometimes get away without wearing sunglasses. I don’t know how the skies are where you live, but sometimes here in middle Tennessee, we get what I call “bright overcast.” It’s basically just very thin cloud cover that mutes the sun…but not enough for my eyes to tolerate without sunglasses.
Anyway, I was on the hunt for a pair of glasses that would suffice for those days. I ended up choosing the Dushine Polarized Sunglasses for Women Retro Style. That’s totally my type of style, for one. For the other, the price was right. Two for $19.99.
I hadn’t paid much attention to whether they were polarized or not, but that was going to lead to my revelation.
Does the polarized test explain Trump and his polarization effect?
My new glasses came with a little card that had a picture of a road on it. I had no idea what that was all about, but I put on the glasses to see. Whoa. It revealed three cars on that road!
Ah! So that’s what polarized means.
It also solved the mystery of why, in the past, I hadn’t been able to see the numbers on my car’s clock while wearing some sunglasses. But I guess most of the glasses I have now are all polarized because I can. They just hadn’t included a test card with their purchase.
The polarized test instantly made me wonder how much else I’ve been “blind” to over the years. Like with Trump. What on earth do his supporters see that I don’t? Why can’t they see him for the con artist and racist that he is? Not to mention womanizer and possible pedophile?
Clearly, they don’t have the right kind of eyes. What they really need is to don a pair of glasses to help them finally see him for the Hitler reincarnate, Devil-in-plain-sight, demon that he really is.

That sunglasses-to-politics bridge you built is clever—it makes the Trump point land harder because the metaphor is so relatable.
Ahhhh!! Michael, thank you for taking the time to leave this comment and validate I did make my point in my weird way. lol
