Great article. All politics becoming national has been a disaster for driving increasing partisanship. Someone needs to be focused on schools, roads, housing, safety, and not just foreign policy and culture wars.
Isn't the problem that moral clarity is actually very tractable when it comes to politics? Having clear messaging that is mobilizing often leads to this kind of rhetoric. In that sense is it not systemic that we will keep seeing this in our politics and voting?
Thomas, excellent article, as always. While it's true I don't agree with all your positions, I find your thoughtfulness, humility, and desire to grapple with the complexity of our current policy-making, politics, and social justice issues winsome and helpful. Thank you for your work here.
