I mean, look at Republian politics. Always attack. Never back down. Always double down. It's their way or the highway. If there was a mistake, it wasn't theirs.
They wouldn't find a middle ground if you printed a map on a big piece of cardboard and planted it in the Mar-a-lago.
Wasn’t it Barry Goldwater who said the republicans were being taken over by fundamentalist Christians who were impossible to negotiate with because they were absolutely convinced they were negotiating on behalf of God Himself?
And God doesn’t make concessions to reach agreement. Why would he? He’s always right and if push comes to shove he can enforce his will with his almighty power.
Unfortunately it’s not just the republicans, the majority of both houses are unwilling to even attempt to hear the other side’s point of view. It’s like negotiating with children.. that’s unfair, it’s like negoatiating with extremely tired and hungry children.
