The Partisan Divide on Issues

The others are mainly Democratic issues that really don't matter to most Americans these days. As far as violence, there's an issue with red and blue violence that if not properly addressed will continue to grow and get worse as partisan hacks like you and others continue prancing around patting each other on the back blowing smoke up each others asses on a regular basis.

I’m glad you consider COVID to be a problem, but the red culture does not consider it so.  Thus, we have 4% of the world’s population and 25% of the deaths.  We have a culture of disregarding the precautions that lingers.

The economic failure is to a great degree following from the medical failure.  You can’t recover the economy without first addressing the virus.

Racial oppression does not go away just because it doesn’t effect you personally.  Thankfully, you are in the minority.

Saving the environment effects everybody, but some do not care.  Thankfully, you are in the minority.

There is a problem with violence.  At first it was very much tied to racism.  Later, it swung more to keeping the racist president and structure in power.  The struggle is about whether the people responsible can be enough a focus of law and order to be held responsible.  It is less a political problem than a law and order problem.  Some consider the white supremacy more important than their commitment to law and democracy.  Many Republican senators would rather win the primary than lose in the general election.  Their choice.  It is a choice that could doom their party.

The key is that the red are on the wrong side of all these problems, and most of the population realizes it.  The triggers have past, the regeneracy is happening, the crisis is here.  The majority want these problem solved and is seeing them attacked vigorously.  Those committed to the old patterns, the old values, will be swept aside by the generally accepted consensus that the problems ought to be solved.  This includes diminishing you and your imaginary ‘Americans’.
