Right, and that is awful, but it's ignorant and self-defeating of us to make enemies and play the blame game instead of seeking conversations and understanding.
If you tell people this is their fault and make them into the enemy, they will gladly act as the enemy. And they'll blame everyone but themselves, a fact Trump has been far too happy to exploit.
No. Going full bore worked for Republicans, I want it in my representatives and peers. No more reaching across the aisle, no more compromise, woke up or die
This is a gross misunderstanding of why it worked for the Republicans. But okay.
I'm not suggesting more compromise and more moderate politics. I am suggesting we stop building strawmen.
