Here's a nice piece for any friends in the US voting today. Rooting for your version of consensus!
"Woodard came up with the theory that the US is really composed of about eleven different ‘nations,’ each with its own mentality—and that that split in outlook helps to account for much of our schizophrenic politics. Seen in that light, American history comes to seem like a grasping search for consensus — an ever-capsizing ship attempting to balance on some even axis."

@MLClark Hard to find peace without prosperity. Avarice and income inequality walk hand in hand. Eg fascism has never taken hold in a country with financially secure people. Although the invested class are doing well, over half of US adults are paycheck to paycheck and barely getting by. The ones that can't join the homeless and their numbers are growing everyday.
