Are we ever going to reconcile our differences? Is there a middle ground to be carved out? I believe the death of Bob Dole this week contains the answer. He was the last of the middle-gound legislators. A few folks are trying to carve that out now, but in today's politics, the middle is wildly shifting from polar extremes so that middle ground can vary so much it can't even see a center.
When there is a tectonic plate shift, norms are challenging to recover. The left and the right sometimes even circle around and intersect.
But I believe the problem doesn't come from the well-thought-out paradigms—the ones borne out of reason and logic. Now it's just very uneducated and media indoctrinated babbling parrots that the average sheepole has slid and de-evolved into: a consumer of false narratives and a practitioner of doublethink.
God help us navigate the malaise.
