OK, but jettison how and where? They're here and they're, er, odd, but the fact still stands. A large number of wingnut types are embedded in our society, and they aren't going anywhere. The only solution that splits society into sane and insane is schism, which has no advocates at this time. I think many of the wingnuts would be happy with that choice, so the selling needs to concentrate on the non-wingnuts. Still, I don't see it.
Remember, both sides have wingnuts, though it's more a matter of magnitude than anything. The Right has nurtured and encouraged their wingnuts, much more than the Left, so a lot more exist on that side. So, if we split the baby, and the RW wingnuts get their own piece of heaven (as they see it), where do the LW wingnuts go? And what about the folks on the right who aren't wingnuts, but don't fit in a Progressive world either?
It's hard to see how this gets resolved by a handshake and a kiss on the check.
