I don't agree entirely, because I believe that economic issues have a much broader appeal than all the culture nonsense (that's unresolvable in case). Read some of the comments, which are more to the point I think.
We have issues that must be addressed that are being made all the worse by Trump & Company -- the climate even more than the economy. That needs to be halted, but the almost certain addition of another right-winger on the SCOTUS may make that all but impossible. If 2020 isn't a blow-out, and packing the court isn't feasible, then the near and mid-term future may be toast. Sadly, that's how I see it. The culture warriors just can't stand down for anything.
I wrote this for my local paper back in February, and it still holds water.
-- like l said somewhere else in this site, maybe we're supposed 2 be fighting the Culture Wars this 4T. I also like your idea about a schism in the saecula where the wingnuts are still in the 3T while the rest of us have moved on
Nice pic with the op ed btw
