Law makers in the US can make laws that aren't legit. They do it to appeal their voters. So in deep blue states, law makers circle around gun control, and in deep red states law makers do the same about abortions. Neutral/centrist law makers don't exist because they would be ousted by both blue and red, who together constitute the majority. Judges are the only adults in the room who have to clean the mess.
- jimmygrapes 5y agoI wonder what the middle ground agreement might be. "Blue team will let red team keep guns as long as red team lets blue team kill babies (but only if unwanted)" or "Red team will abandon guns if blue team allows unwanted babies to be born (barring unmanageable complications)"?
- akomtu 5y agoYour middle ground is rational, but the two camps live the world of emotions. The red think that abortions contradict the bible and your middle ground will be seen as a compromise with satan who's trying to deceive them. Nothing less than the second arrival will change their mind. The blue isn't much better, although they tend to defend their opinion with mental gymnastics, for they don't have a holy book with undisputable authority. Their arguments is about moral superiority, even though they seem to use logical elements.
