An obvious approach for a culture war truce is significant devolution of federal power to the states. Ending Jim Crow was wonderful and I'm glad we've done it but the subsequent use of federal power to mandate value homogeneity has been a disaster Let the states sort it out

Tentative things I want to come out of this
1. End to the culture war. I have no idea how to accomplish this.
2. China decoupling and aggressive, multilateral containment wherever possible.
3. Massive deregulation of biotech and medicine.
