One more kinda disturbing political thought. . .

[xiphias]

Watching the reactions to recent Supreme Court decisions, it seems to me that we're getting more and more polarized in the United States, so that, real soon now, whatever happens, half the country is going to find it intolerable.

How do we prevent that from happening? Do we prevent that from happening? Should we prevent that from happening?

I mean, I know what I want the United States to look like, but I'm aware that there are lots of Americans who would be horrified if it did. Just as horrified as I would be if the United States looked the way THEY would like it to.

Is it possible to create a country in which both of us can live comfortably? Is it desirable to do so?

Absolute affirmation isn't a society.

Yes. Exactly.

Image that comes to mind is of positive and negative poles of a battery needed for current.

Oh. Yes.
