Don't stand aghast at nothingness - a pretty good Bible Bitch segment.
And today's stats, illustrative of the root problem we're starting to understand a bit better:
61% of Americans believe 45* lies regularly.
76% of Republicans believe he tells the truth all or most of the time.
And we continue to go along with the Press Poodles as they work hard to placate us with bullshit tropes like "tribalism" - which is little more than a new(ish) version of Both-Sides.
Fight back.
There's nothing wrong with looking for ways to meet somewhere in between when there's reason to think we can find some commonality. Compromise is a good thing when it moves us towards "a more perfect union".
Just be careful not to get caught up in the Fallacy of The Middle Ground.
eg: There's nothing ideological about the fact of AGW-Driven Climate Change. We can compromise on what we think is a good approach to dealing with it, but the fact of it is not in doubt and we're wasting time if that's what we continue to allow to be at the center of the debate.
As the Press Poodles and their handlers continue to pimp the Both Sides nonsense, we have to turn up the heat and do everything within reason to make that Forever-In-The-Middle position as uncomfortable as possible.
