> This is a dangerous trend for all of us because it makes it impossible find common ground in an open democracy even if half the country in our eyes have essentially deplorable views, we need to recognize that they feel the same about us and then it's simply not constructive to be unable to find common ground. Don't view political impasse as a problem. Indeed, it's the only thing that will lead to the eventual dismantle of the federal system we have today. Why do we need a super-state? We must decentralize authority. Don't try to save democracy, let it fail under it's on weight as all democracies do.
