Capt. Seth - yours is an excellent essay and a significant move forward in defining the true causes of division (and thus better identifying potential solutions) in this nation. The continuing pretense of red v. blue (Democrat vs. Republican) has now been almost entirely exposed, given the rise of the warhawk, pro-hegemony NeoCons and what is aptly called the Uniparty (the collaboration of similarly greedy and power-hungry politicians and their corporate and cultural benefactors from "both sides of the traditional political aisle"). "Conservative" in the current culture & political environment has been exposed to mean controlled by / subservient to / supportive solely of Big Money and Globalist corporate powers.
"Christian nationalist" better defines my values and political bent. And that is a very Big Tent, contrary to what the fascist radical "Progressives" insist in their transparently fraudulent attempt to claim "democracy" as their objective while promoting an increasingly brutal totalitarianism as their means.
Very good seth! While traveling back hime to our home in TN after spending the winter in az, we stopped at the WASP museum in sweetwater tx. It was awesome! Those women who were the 1st to fly military aircraft in ww2 were amazing and courageous. Out of the little over 1000 that made it thru, 38 died in a plane crash. They were deployed to bases around the country. Most embraced them and gave them good living qtrs, while some made it evident they did not want them there. The latter, transferred out when they could. It is sad when people cannot see the value in others, esp during a war where they are risking their lives and some have died
As long as we put up with this, it will stay. I pray that we as christians can take bold stands for Jesus and bold stands to be united and to love others as God does us. God bless America and God bless Israel. Many young people do not know or appreciate the freedom others died to give them. I pray for a wake up call to parents as well
Thank you seth for yours and your dad's and brothers service.
Change is inevitable and inescapable, due to physical law. That's just how our universe is set up.
Understanding this, one can see that the entire "progressive" / "conservative" dialectic is a rigged game. Progressives get to determine the direction of change and muster support. Conservatives only muster resistance. Enough resistance and you can stay stuck for a while; more likely outcome is friction and heat.
Time is not on our side. Nobody wins anything playing only defense. We need agile warriors who know their values and can fight for them with courage. That's not "conservative", that's just "progressive" in a different direction.

Along with the closed border pillar of your rubric, I'd include international bodies purchasing land in the US. It should be illegal.
Excellent!🙌🏻🙏🏻❤️
Excellent analysis. Thank you for sharing this in a format that people can comprehend.

Thank you for the insightful analogy. It is an apt one.
