    1/The tragic Portland stabbing shows conservative and liberal Americans still have a fundamental decency in common:

    2/That both a Republican politician and a Reed College hippie would stand up for Muslim women like this is a reminder of American decency.

    3/And the man who stabbed and killed them - a crazed white supremacist - is a symbol of the madness that threatens to overwhelm our decency.

    4/In the face of this madness, why are America's right and left still at each other's throats so much?

    5/Why don't both sides tone it down, say more nice things about each other, use less scorched-earth political and media tactics?

    6/Part of it is suspicion. Much of the left fears that Republicans secretly identify with guys like the Portland stabber...

    8/This fear, distrust, and disunity was born of a long era of peace and prosperity, when the only enemy we had to fight was each other.

    9/We convinced ourselves that abortion, taxes, health care, etc. were apocalyptic battles in which there could be no compromise.

    10/And we're still fighting those battles. It seems like the GOP will sanction *anything* Trump does in order to get tax cuts, etc...

    12/But even more poisonous than policy fights is the rhetoric. To hear people talk, you'd think every Republican was a white supremacist...

    17/And n/c the shouting classes tell everyone to fear & hate the other political tribe, that decent majority can't unite against the menace.

    In 1942, my grandparents were forcibly evacuated from their CA homes & shipped to a prison camp in the AZ desert, where my dad was born. /1
