It is no exaggeration when I say that I fear that the growing divisions between red and blue states will negatively impact our country's economic and social future.
You’re scaring me now, because I was just having conversations with my very liberal daughters about living most of a generally prosperous life under moderate conservative and liberal governments on both sides when there were not such radical left and right pushes toward the fringes as we’re seeing now, and everyone generally got along well, with a few flare-ups here and there. But the parties have become so polarized and radicalized the past 15 years wanting their selfish agendas pushed and not willing to compromise that it seems no middle ground can be fashioned by either, which eventually will lead to just what you describe in your article. Biden tan on bipartisanship but has been far from such when leading. Trump didn’t even try to pretend. We need ration and moderate leadership and enough people who see where this is headed to vote them into office and avoid an uprising by either side, and better damn sure do it soon!
