re: #214 jaunte
Let’s be blunt, our political parties are waging a “cold” civil war… And as @amyewalter argues so well, each side rationalizes their bad behavior by pointing to the bad behavior of their “opponent”. The incentive structure punishes moderation
- it is one thing to point out the bad behavior of their opponent, as democrats do
- it is quite another to believe with righteous indignation that only their opponent is, and can be capable of acting despicably. As only the republicans do.
