Superposition: In any network with 2 or more sources, the current or voltage for any component is the algebraic sum of the effects produced by each source acting separately. The superposition of forces in a mechanical/electrical network results in compromise and allows the building of better bridges and interfaces. Using one ideology is like using half of a pair of pliers to grasp something. My avatar represents the % of approval, by party, that our congress enjoys. John Adams wrote in a letter in 1780: "There is nothing which I dread so much as a division of the republic into two great parties, each arranged under its leader, and concerting measures in opposition to each other. This, in my humble apprehension, is to be dreaded as the greatest political evil under our Constitution." "I was no party man myself, and the first wish of my heart was, if parties did exist, to reconcile them." GEORGE WASHINGTON, letter to Thomas Jefferson, July 6, 1796.

    Why — when making the corrections was possible, because of majority control in Congress/Scotus — weren’t those archaic anti-democratic errors fixed?

    Too bad that only Democrats are swayed by these facts … as the DNC doesn’t even try to campaign in the misinformation-dominated red states that have the greatest need to hear/comprehend the truth. Minds/opinions will not change until their irrational hierarchical beliefs are questioned instead of reinforced.

    Are there more resources and fewer people than 4 years ago? Has war affected some essential supplies and supply routes? Is the US now a self-sufficient nation with highly skilled workers that does not depend upon resources, supplies, and workers from other nations?

    The original concept of freedom of speech was the right of an individual, to tell the truth about a ruler, without having the ruler take vengeance against the protestor.

    Our politicized version has deviated significantly from that concept.

    Things that are different/misunderstood/suspicious/etc that can’t be shot … must be banned?

    Ironically, the interdependence found in the rural town of Wuggins, could scale to the global level if the hierarchical ranking of other people, cultures, religions, societies, governments, nations, etc was simply set aside and we accepted people — though different — as our equals.

    Fear of the unknown, fear of those different, paranoia, chronic suspicion [based on gossip, innuendo], disrespect/distrust [especially of allies and fellow citizens], and dishonesty are not good traits for a federal representative in the view of those who still love their country and want to see it governed wisely.

    Is what TFG is doing campaigning? Does he change any minds … or flatter himself with already-accepting supporters?

    Blurring the lines, revealing the ambiguity … from the SA article:

    “… For instance, imagine a liberal trying to convince a conservative to adopt a more inclusive policy on transgender issues. If they assume that conservative beliefs are informed by fear of danger, they might note that transgender people are much more likely to be assaulted than most other people are. But another tactic would be blurring lines—perhaps noting that a small but consistent number of babies are born with atypical genitalia and arbitrarily assigned a sex at birth, which suggests the line between male and female is not always perfectly clear. If hierarchical world belief is more at play than dangerous world belief, assuaging fears may be less effective than describing why a specific line is a bit arbitrary.

    To reach a point of cooperation—even amid intense disagreement—people often need to grasp other perspectives. Our work shows that conservatives and liberals disagree more about the meaning of differences than about the prevalence of danger. That insight may seem modest, but it’s a big step in the right direction. …"
