But the main line actors are far more forgiven if they renounce the own side’s bad actors.  Conservatives can renounce their racists.  Progressives can renounce legislation from the bench, attempts to change culture by force when they do not have the supermajority votes to amend the constitution.  (There really is a legal right to own and carry weapons.)  That is the sort of thing that would have to be done to bring the two factions together, to allow them to live in the same reality, to share a common set of values.

True. We can renounce our so called racists and we can convict them for their crimes and even execute them too. It's nice to see that we seem pretty close to being on the same page now.
