    Maybe it's that I'm a naturally a conflict-averse person, but it kinda feels that recently we broke something in America where a significant amount of people would rather run things to the ground...

    Maybe it's that I'm a naturally a conflict-averse person, but it kinda feels that recently we broke something in America where a significant amount of people would rather run things to the ground then eat our pride and make things better for everyone, and I have no idea how to deal with it. Obviously I have less skin in the game then somebody of less privilege, and maybe it's naive of me to think that Politics wasn't always a cyclical, bipartisan endeavor of saving the country from the other side's ignorance, but if vengeance and greed as self interest is a primary swing for elections, we're not in a good spot, are we?

      If it makes you feel any better, my amateur investigations of American history have led me to believe that this is the case.

        The affirmation of my negative statement there is kind of confusing to me. Politics was or wasn't always saving people from themselves?

          Happy to clarify. My own amateur investigation has led me to believe that Politics has always been a cyclical, bi partisan endeavor of saving the country from the other side's ignorance
