The Partisan Divide on Issues

I take that back, you have whatever dignity there is, whatever remains being associated with the Democratic party these days. Oh well, we'll get to see how much integrity and character that's left and how much of the Democratic party is worth saving, preserving and carrying onward vs letting go of and leaving behind to die along with most of the West.

Hmmm...

The crisis issues to me seem to be COVID, the economy, racism, red violence (which is sort of racism again) and global warming.  A trigger comes along, the government undergoes regeneracy and gets focused on solving the crisis problems.  The conservative faction which favors the status quo and thus staying with the structure that doesn't solve the problems fades.  The progressive faction which solves the problems gets to remake the culture to incorporate the solutions.  Build infrastructure.  Rinse.  Repeat with new issues.

Now you are just incapable of seeing that.  It seems silly to try to help you see it.  You have adequately demonstrated your stubborn commitment to the old perspective.  COVID doesn't seem to induce the Hiroshima class shock it takes to make people rethink their values.  They are only people after all.  So what if COVID minus the precautions causes death?  The oppression doesn't matter?  Your commitment to the old culture and obsession with violence doesn't let you see it.

But that is turning theory in a nutshell, and applying it to our current situation is clear enough.
