The Partisan Divide on Issues

[Bob Butler 54]

This is a crisis.  The conflict is devisive.  The leader will be too.  The question of the moment is whether to punish someone who attempted to overthrow democracy.  Underneath are the problems of Covid, saving the environment, racism and more or less infrastructure.  You have to decide whether you wish to solve these problems or not.  In all prior American crisis, the problems have been addressed.  Granted, these problems are more visible and problematic in the densely populated areas.  There is a big enough difference of the severity of the problem to create a divide.  Still, the problems in the past have been addressed.

My proposition is that in the Information Age cultures can be altered through protest and legislation, as the suffragettes, Gandhi and Martin Luther King demonstrated.  That seems to be holding true.  The January sixth insurrection seems to be the peak of the violence.  Violence and protest faded since.  The Democrats have been making little progress since then.  The stay the same faction has enough power left to gum up the works.  Still, they have had to oppose progress and the will of the people to do so.  Of late, the party holding the presidency has lost ground in congress in the mid term elections.  The question is whether the lack of progress will be blamed on the Republicans voting as a block against progress and reversing the trend.

Right now the problem is that while the Democrats have the nominal majority in Congress, there are a few conservative Democrats that have blocked most progress.  The Democrats need a few more votes to overcome this lack.

Your personal obsession with violence and disregard for what is actually happening has put you way out in left field.
