As a "Boomer" and political observer as well as participant for these many decades, I can only see a violent conclusion to the present division. The party of Eisenhower was the last time R's had any ideas to move our nation forward. They would be called leftists now. Since then, the R mantra has been to gather more money and power to the detriment of those without power or influence. D's continue to try to advance policies by mostly playing within rules that are too constricting, therefore little gets done. We are one election away from autocracy that will lead to many resisting and a violent end game.
The fact that only 2 Republicans (Liz Cheney and her dad there to support her) attended the memorial last Jan. 6 says it all. I may not agree with their politics, but I agree with their standing up for what is right. Doesn't anyone else on that side of the aisle have a conscience?
