At some point you don't have a choice. You have to diametrically opposed ideas on how to run one federal government. Historically the last side standing wins. So far that is looking to be the left because they are willing to be ruthless. The right is still busy trying to hold on to the notion that somehow the other side can be reasoned with through rational processes. They can't Not until they suffer under the same tactics they inflict on others. I always say that it's now a mud wrestling contest. And until we roll up our sleeves, wade in, and then body slam them face first into the mud until they cry uncle we're not having any kind of rational conversation. Once they do cry uncle, then you can help them up, wipe some of the mud off and move on. Until we reach that point this is a war.
People like to accuse the Right of being toothless. But really, would we want another party just as ruthless and unethical as the left?
