I say what is going on here is some kind of split--separate emotional universes. On one side are people who are essentially authoritarian by nature and who want rules, clarity, and predictability. They support cops, the military, and President Pinocchio. On the other side are people who, for whatever reasons, are able to put up with ambiguity and the messiness of democracy. They don't understand us; we don't understand them.That is an excellent observation. My libertarian friends are missing the point by hanging out with the GOP which is the authoritarian party.
This was also a learning experience about bookmarking things you want to comment on. It took me forever to find this again today because I did not.
