Jim Wright’s latest essay at Stonekettle station is a real thought provoker. stonekettle.com

The thesis is simple enough to state: some kind of compromise between red America and blue America is necessary if we aren’t to end up with a cold civil war or being perpetually on the verge of a cold civil war.

That’s true enough, but I honestly don’t see how this is possible. Republicans have unilaterally radicalized themselves to an extreme degree, and the political reality is that the Democrats must respond in kind (at least in part, although the Democrats have nothing like Fox News or Hate Radio and shouldn’t do that shit) or just get rolled over.

As ever, one side or the other can ensure war, but peace requires both sides to cooperate.
