Not ready to make nice

29. Sorry, but DonConquixote is very wrong. Our nation

is divided roughly into people who are hard wired to be either conservative or liberal, becoming every possible mixture of the two.

This is a huge part of why we developed a two-party system that requires both sides to work together to find some middle ground to agree on. Yes, the results are often not terribly satisfying to anyone, but a huge benefit is that it also creates a moderate majority big enough to protect us from destructive extremism from both sides.

Including fascist billionaire schemes to take control. Ultrawealthy right-wing extremists have currently succeeded in breaking our system by dividing us (you know, the united we stand, divided we fall thing?), but they haven't gained control.

But, even without the threat from them, the reality is that no one side can rule. The current viciously partisan electoral attempts at power-grabbing by each side are not just unworkable and unsustainable, but dangerously destabilizing. As we see.

The only way we can regain successful government is by rejecting divisive political bigotry and embracing all those who want to restore our working bipartisan/multifactional majority.
