I'm not paying close attention... well, in a way I am, following political Xitter and Bluesky regularly, but more on the Headline News level than in depth. OK, that said...
Things I've read online, things I've seen or at least heard about on TV, and I haven't heard or read this next put this way: anti-Trump people are working together with the same goal. Extreme example: Liz Chaney (who, it must be admitted, was plugging her book) and Rachel Maddow. True, neither of them are in office, so it's not the best example of politics-makes-strange-bedfellows, I get that...
Being anti-Trump has brought them together, and they're working together without getting deeper into political beliefs. They treat each other with respect. If MAGA is defeated, then won't that respect carry over into day-to-day governing?
These days, the overview seems to be that Democrats think Republicans are evil and out to destroy America, and Republicans are just as sure the opposite is true. In the good old days, it is said, they'd disagree without being disagreeable, and after the day's battle would go out together for drinks. So I'm thinking, isn't all this working together now going to help down the road, too?
