Are BOTH the Republican and Democrat Party pulling the cart forward? With apologies to many local Republicans who are working hard to make the world a better place.
We're getting pulled in two directions but we're really sitting on a knife's edge. I think there's an authoritarian storm coming. My representative in Congress is Madison Cawthorn. He's my representative because the state legislature picked me (and my neighbors) to be represented by him. He gets no kudos from me.
I am still more hopeful than you are. Each of us sees the world from their own place, with their own, therefore, perspective. Agree. But step back a bit. First, you can't tell the size of the crowd because of its noise. Second, stop for a minute and consider how far outside the sidelines (competent to play) are many of the voices that we hear. The rest of the country is hard to rouse but enough will be, soon I think, enough. People always lose their balance when they go too far. Sanity is a powerful force.
