Polyester is a much maligned fabric. In ages past, it was texturized to look like gabardine, in the case of a business suit, and, later, during the disco era, the 1970s, it was made to look like plaid mashed potatoes shaped with a fork. There were worse things happening to polyester garments, but we don’t have time to suffer this out together at this critical time in space.
In the words of the great fashion-forward Rolling Stones, it’s all right now, in fact it’s a gas.
I need to help the public understand that a new age began during this current eventful U.S. presidency. Whether cause and effect, I decided to quit buying new blue jeans and get to loading up on polyester slacks. I’d been wearing those mediocre store-brand jeans for decades, and they are ratty looking. Time for a new look. I’m going business casual now, and there’s other fish to fry: The human relations crisis that has been cooking since 2015.
I’m proposing sartorial politics. A new look, a new way of dealing with presidents of the U.S. Ignore them. Focus on the crisis. Voters have been awfully divisive these years. Dems and GOPs need to kiss and make up.
