>>I'm happy to disagree with people over things like whether taxes should be higher or lower, or whether school vouchers are good or bad. I'm not interesting in finding common ground with people who think 6 million weren't enough (as the shirt one of the rioters wore indicated) and thus, want me dead.

Of course the vast majority agrees with you... but a problem arises if (for example) GOP voters are called Nazis to excuse "Punch a Nazi" hateful behavior and cancel culture against them. Users of such tactics whether in media, entertainment or congress are closer to Nazi scapegoat bigotry themselves or to the Inquisition, if only introspection were more popular. You've even got people comparing the recent Congress "insurrection" to the Reichstag fire which may seem stretched today, but who knows tomorrow if the calls to punish the political minority and their voters continue.

IMHO the biggest problem you face today is groundswell loss of faith in the Social Contract. Systematic blue collar impoverishment has become normalized in the US but now the Middle Class is being convinced that the system is stacked against them too. US and world history has more than one example of what happens when disaffected disorganized working class gains middle class support. The recent Gamestop antics that appear designed to protect hedge fund elites by undercutting winning middle class normies, has made it significantly worse. Safely ensconced at the end of the world I nevertheless feel a deep sense of unease, and hope that reconciliation is more than just a slogan...
