This is a real strength especially when combined with a clear predictive vision (4T Crisis leading to next 1T High). In the brick and mortar world, I'm in an extremely liberal enclave and can't say anything anti-Hillary (or pro-Trump for that matter) which is pretty unhealthy IMHO.
Have y'all had discussions about how very different political views will have to be set aside in service of helping the US negotiate the Crisis (assuming it happens on schedule as is looking more and more likely)?
Not sure I'd characterize these as actual exchanges. Eric occasionally acknowledges facts, but that's because he can always find a way to use them in an argument against the right, even if it's the exactly the opposite of the argument he most recently made. Or maybe Eric is arguing that Trump is a warmonger and it was someone else on the left that argued he is too much of a peacenik; I've lost track.
We've had discussions about whether - not how - very different political views will have to be set aside during the crisis. I believe Eric and I are of the opinion that what's actually going to happen is that red boomers and blue boomers will continue to fight things out, which is why we are happy to argue. Others argue that views will need to adjust and consolidate, but somehow those who so argue always think the views need to consolidate on their views, and never that they are the ones that will need to adjust.
