  2. ​ @DrMackSplackem  ... It is trouble for all of us! America was founded upon the idea of discourse and debate, to resolve disagreement. There have been 2 fundamental changes that have taken root of society and they are coming from the political left, but instigated by the Marxist cult. The first is a wholesale abandoning of even the most basic values that act as a glue to hold a society together. The second is the steadfast refusal to engage in good faith discussion / debate to resolve our differences. . There are many examples, but one that is at the heart of a split in the Democrats and GOP is the issue of abortion. There has always been a rift on this issue, but the common "value" we all shared, was "safe, legal and rare". There were some, even many, on the farther right, who have and always will be pro-life in nearly if not all circumstances. Those people have always voiced that opinion, but it has and is still shared by a number of states. While they have always voiced this position, from a federal position, the "safe, legal and rare" model was doable, though far from what they wanted. Now, we have the far left (MarxistCrats) who have quite literally taken over the Democratic party, over the last 8 years or so. These are the counter to those on the far right, who have also abandoned "safe, legal and rare" to adopt... "on demand". While there are certainly fewer numbers of the on-demand supporters than pro-life absolutists, it seems to come from a position of spite for most. . This leads us to the steadfast refusal to engage issue. Why it is the Democratic party has chosen "trans" to be the hill they ABSOLUTELY want to die on, is beyond comprehension. Back in the '80's, I saw this movement and was for gay rights. The LGB's did not want ANY special rights, just basic ones afforded to us all. They wanted legal rights, as a long-term man / woman would have, in the event of hospital visits / decisions and insurance, but the second was marriage. I understand that the term "marriage" is CRITICAL for most on both sides, but since the term "marriage" is well defined in the Bible, there are those on the moderate right who will always oppose that term, being applied to same-sex couples. Again, I understand why the term "marriage" is so attractive / appealing, but imagine how much smoother this would have all gone if some other word was willing to be used. The term "marriage" is so connected to the Bible and those on the right, this will NEVER be a compromise that the GOP will embrace. . I don't want to to any farther off the path, but you get the point. Hotez will NOT discuss / debate his ideas, because he considers his opinion to be morally superior, so to even debate them is to be beneath him! I do get the "debate" aspect of it, as Mehdi Hassan is excellent at debate, but only because he uses an approach that is in EXTREMELY bad faith. He wrote a book titled "How To Win Every Argument". Imagine the self-righteousness of one to think that he / she has the right opinion 100% of the time? Imagine the arrogance of holding an opinion that CANNOT be influenced by any argument or introduction of facts, logic or information. . THAT is the definition of the MarxistCrat and why this is trouble for us all! Those who feel such a way have COMPLETELY taken over the Democratic party and are completely consumed by the idea that the are 100% firmly and totally on "the right side of history". We have seen it countless times when senators are posing questions that expose the extreme cognitive dissonance of leftists and like a broken record, they simply repeat the dogma. . A national divorce will NEVER work, because any agreement that would stand the test of time, requires "good faith". The MarxistCrat who WILL drive the Democrats decisions to the extreme left will not have equal numbers on the extreme right, so compromise would be impossible. The marxistCrat will NOT compromise on anything, so it is simply not possible to negotiate in good faith. . ..... welcome to Hotez who hides behind people like Hassan to protect him from defending his ideas.
