“Do you really think there is a “political solution” here???”
Yes, another revolution, and I mean it.
I guess we will have to quibble about terms here.
To me, a "revolution" is never "merely" a political event. It is the mass revulsion of an already culturally-empowered [and in the unique American case, personally armed] civil order against the deadly invasion/infection of a "foreign" cultural order that seeks the former's destruction as a matter of principle, that it may gain absolute dominion over it (i.e., over us).
I really do think that is the bottom line here. I have strong doubts that political parties and the candidates of our choice can do much about any of that, all by themselves....
The truth is reposed in We the People. Thus it follows that if the people themselves are untruthful, then there is no truth in the society they constitute. And so they deserve what they get.
IMHO, this is fundamentally a cultural problem.
And yet, maybe We the People might want to have a free and open conversation about such subjects, in the run-up to the Midterms and the Presidential primaries.
If so, would such folks be welcome here?
