It's always been irreconcilable, the Two Americas do not reconcile, but that's sort of what makes it America, there could never be a reconciliation, one side or the other would have to achieve outright supremacy, but then it would cease to be America as we know it, in fact, I doubt the republic could survive without the Two Americas irreconcilable, it's the mechanism which keeps the whole thing running.DrYouth wrote:Well ya... but it's tipping back to irreconcilable again...Smitty-48 wrote:The Two Americas keep rebranding themselves, Blue v.

The center was able to hold for a while... and it's not holding...
Dan was trying to rally a centre around "corruption"... that ship has sailed.

I mean, the only method of reconciliation would be Les Deux Solitudes, but then it's basically just another Canada, and so no moonshot or what have you, the tension between the Two America's, is the source of American power.

They are always working on reconciliation...Smitty-48 wrote: It's always been irreconcilable, the Two Americas do not reconcile, but that's sort of what makes it America, there could never be a reconciliation, one side or the other would have to achieve outright supremacy, but then it would cease to be America as we know it, in fact, I doubt the republic could survive without the Two Americas irreconcilable, it's the mechanism which keeps the whole thing running.
The Civil Rights movement,
The welfare state,
The Democrats running Bill Clinton... southern boy going tough on crime...
Republicans promoting protectionism...
Always a reconstruction... always one side appeasing the other...
The civil war is not imminent...
But rallying the centre around "corruption"... no longer even a pipe dream.

That's not reconciliation, that was just the liberal New Dealers running the table on the right for forty years, that did not incite reconciliation, quite the opposite, that's the infinite Culture War in a nutshell.

Notice how Ivory Tower Huffpo Himbo interprets the liberals running the table and imposing their nonsense on the other America as "reconciliation"?
That's the left in a nutshell, they win, you lose, that's "reconciliation", lols.

Re: McGregor UFC 223 Rampage -WTF Capps?
Probably should have thrown quotes around "reconciliation"...
I agree it was never really in good faith...
But for a while the center appeared to be holding.

Look no further than how they treat the likes of John McCain or Marco Rubio.

There's no way to reconcile with a Post Scarcity Utopian religion, when the left says "can't we all just get along?", we all know that they really mean "WHY WONT YOU JUST DIE, LITERALLY HITLER?!!!"
