Against polarization

On national defense, "the factions [parties] in Congress are not nearly far apart as their election-year ranting would leave [sic] you to believe." An interesting essay at NRO. Whatever happened to all that stuff about the Democrats wanting to cut-and-run, their victory being equivalent to a jihadist victory over America, Republican dominance being absolutely essential to national security, etc., etc., etc?

Whatever. Any sign that the country is overcoming its hysterical and histrionic right-vs.-left polarization is welcome.

Please be on-topic and read the comments policy. Spam, trolls, and fight-pickers will be deleted. If you don't have a Blogspot account and aren't sure how to comment, please see here. Fair warning -- I reject all comments containing any of the following:

1. Support for transgenderism
2. Negativity about Brexit
3. Support for a military draft or compulsory national service

I am not obligated to provide a platform for views I find morally abhorrent. And obviously I'm going to delete anything which is just quoting what an "AI" said. I want to hear from you, not from the always-wrong hallucination machine.

No comments advocating violence against any specific identifiable individual, even jokingly.

Please be considerate -- no political or politics-tinged comments on non-political posts, and no performative cynicism. Finally, please remember that this is a personal blog whose main purpose is to encourage contact from people with similar interests and world-views to mine. I really don't much care for arguing and debating; if arguing and debating is what you want, there are plenty of other places on the internet which welcome that.
