In this dialogue, we discuss political rhetoric. Specifically, we discuss the use by Joe Biden of the word "unimaginable" when describing the tornado outbreak in Western Kentucky and Southern Illinois during the night of December 10 2021. When politicians use words like "unimaginable" to describe events which were completely imaginable, and for that matter, to some degree preventable, they shift responsibility for lousy or absent policy away from themselves and onto randomness. Not only is it imaginable that tornadoes should happen, at any time of the year in Tornado Alley, but there are policies which can be created to warn people in tornados' paths earlier and give them the opportunity to escape. And yet, political leaders prefer to use words like "unimaginable" to sidestep blame for policy failure. As citizens we have the right to demand of our leaders that they adopt policy designed to help us protect ourselves from even natural disasters, but since we have come to expect "thoughts and prayers" to be the only thing our politicians offer in times of disaster and crisis, our support for government is undermined by our leaders themselves, and we are left to fend for ourselves.
