Biden’s return to normalcy and basic humanity has led to a great unclenching in our public life. It is a pleasure to be occasionally bored by politics again. But it would be a mistake for Biden to assume that our political system has returned to its previous state, à la memory foam. The Republican Party remains dominated by an apocalyptic politics that accuses liberals of dismantling Western civilization and authorizes undemocratic means to save civilization.

Many conservatives — parroting media outlets that profit from incitement — have become reactionary and authoritarian. Their return to power in a second Trump term would be a threat to the republic.

Although I have contempt for his failure to embrace socialized medicine, Biden is a very effective administrator--
a better administrator than he was a legislator.

He's not an omnipotent god, however, and only one of those could save this republic.
And those don't exist.

We're past the tipping point in our polarization.

I'm hoping that Bernie and the rest will be able to push him to do something about the health care situation sooner rather than later. So far I've been pleased with Biden's job. And what a relief it is not to have a moron-induced scandal or crisis, nearly every single day.

We want that, Owl.
Conservative America, for no discernably sane reason, doesn't.
Each side will be successful only in keeping the other side miserable.
That's where we stand as a nation in my view.

Unfortunately it appears that your pessimism is warranted.
