American Division Gave This Local Man A Once-In-A-Lifetime Idea — Now He Can’t Remember It
Bisbee, AZ — In what experts are calling a tragic case of "involuntary idea evaporation," local man Carl Henderson is reeling after losing what he insists was "the most brilliant idea of his life" — an idea so profound it could have possibly united a divided nation.
"I was just sitting on my couch, doomscrolling through the news," Henderson explained. "Republicans fighting Democrats. Liberals fighting conservatives. Twitter fighting reality. And suddenly… BAM. It hit me."
Henderson, 38, claims the idea was a complete solution to America’s political division, social polarization, and even the broken healthcare system. "It was all there — a policy framework, a nationwide reconciliation program, and a reality show spinoff for added revenue," he said. "It was flawless."
However, just as quickly as the idea came, it vanished. "I got up to grab a snack, thinking I’d write it down after I found some chips,” Henderson said. "But when I got back… it was gone. I mean, totally blank. Like someone just hard-reset my brain."
Attempts to recover the idea have so far been unsuccessful. Henderson’s wife, Jessica, attempted to hypnotize him with a YouTube tutorial, but the only thing it unlocked was a deep craving for nachos.
"It’s devastating," Jessica said. "I’ve seen him come up with some pretty bad ideas before — like trying to make grilled cheese in the toaster — but this one was different. He really seemed convinced it could heal the nation."
Political experts are already speculating about the nature of Henderson’s lost idea. Harvard professor Dr. Melvin Crick believes it was likely centered around a radical new form of bipartisan cooperation — or possibly the discovery that avocado toast can actually balance the national budget.
Despite his memory lapse, Henderson remains optimistic. "I know the idea is still in there, somewhere," he said, tapping his forehead. "Or maybe it’ll hit me again next time I’m scrolling through the news. Just… gotta make sure I’m not hungry next time."
Until then, America remains divided — and Henderson remains mildly confused.
