    These are all good points, but it’s really not that complicated. Imagine if there were only two NFL football teams. The right are simply die-hard fans of their team and nothing will sway them to change their allegiance to the other side. Nothing.

    Policy doesn’t mean shit to them.

    Integrity doesn’t mean shit to them.

    The Constitution doesn’t mean shit to them.

    Upholding a democracy doesn’t mean shit to them.

    As long as “their team” wins, that’s all that matters. That’s are not smart people we’re dealing with here.

      If that is the case, it’s still a better ratio in the US than in Israel. Israel has a solid majority of far right supporters, the left have no possibility of winning over there.

      Hope my society goes the European route of having multi party democracies such as the Open List Proportional representation systems in like, Germany, or wven further afield like in Japan.
