When This Blows Over

If you view this in terms of war, then yes, the progressives are
down. Unfortunately, that misses the cyclical nature of our
existence. Long term, how sustainable is this chaos? Americans
are happy to go along with the status quo until the very last
minute. Until something so abhorrent pushes them in one
direction or another. Think game theory, my dear.

Republicans, it seems to me, are much happier to talk and
compromise. It's how we ended up with things like the extra
Medicare benefits under Bush and two giant spending bills under
Bush and Trump, among other things. The Democrats take that
and then refuse to compromise on anything else and meantime
people like Maxine Waters push to harass administration officials
in public because they don't agree with their policies. That is
going beyond any kind of "family squabble".
While they may be allowed to do such things legally, they
certainly aren't following
principles that
encourage peaceful
resolution of serious
issues, and in fact are
making issues worse -
while proposing idiocies
that we can't possibly
afford, like medical care
for all nation-wide.
