This feels thready.
The leadership? Probably true.
Don't confuse the members of a party with party leaders. The ones you hear are often the nuts who grabbed the mic. When you are in a red area, there are a ton of kind, smart, neighborly, responsible GOP.

Really? What makes them kind, smart and neighborly when they vote lock step with the party leaders?

They, whichever they we are picking, vote for the party that they feel is not attacking them.

No. I don't think Republicans are voting to dismantle the social safety net because someone is attacking them. And shouldn't we be attacking them if they are trying to dismantle the social safety net?

I don't think they generally see their vote as a vote to dismantle social security. That's not the message I have gotten from folks. I hear from folks that the GOP will save social security by getting spending in check. I'm not asserting that it is objectively true.

But the reality we live in is people vote for their team, and think their team has their back. We need to stop seeing this as a competitive sport to get to a world where bothsiderisms are a thing. We should have one side, improving what we have.
