I think the main problem is that both parties are broken and are now going to be about any issue that the most zealous 20% of the public embraces. The media had run defense for the Democrats even though the party itself is evidently run by the reparations crowd (which is another issue like abortion that has taken over a major party).
The reverse discrimination that is “Affirmative Action,” has been in effect since 1961, so you have an entire generation of Americans who are acclimated to virtuous citizens discriminating against white citizens. Because the leadership of our country has mandated that this should be so, this is the attitude of the more conscientious citizens.
Our leadership has embraced fringe issues that have driven out all the Independents, leaving us with a two party system that fails to address the needs of the average citizen. We don’t need a Republican or Democratic party that is run by crazy people who run all the normal people out over litmus tests or wokeness, we need government of the people, by the people, and for the people.
After this is over a wise Republican party leadership would make sure to act on issues that are a priority for most people and negotiate advances for the hot button issues instead of letting them take over. But that’s one woman’s opinion.
“But that’s one woman’s opinion.”
Logical and valid, which means rejection by both man and beast.
You write sane words in insane times.
Meant to add, in reference to your name,
We live in a world of many Baldricks and Percys.
