Cynical Publius @CynicalPublius - Many you have been following this “Braver Angels” controversy.
Data Republican has brilliantly done deep research, you can and should explore that on your own.
But after perusing BA’s website and materials myself, I have a far less nuanced view.
BA seeks to promote dialogue between the political right and the political left, thinking that doing so is brave, angelic and a path to harmony.
My take is that it’s like the sheep wanting to have a dialogue with the wolves.
Of course the wolves will agree. Then they eat you.
It is, IMO, a delusion to think the left is willing to compromise with the right on ANYTHING. The left wants complete dominion over the right and will settle for nothing less.
Now, of course, the BA people will assert that I am a big part of the problem with that attitude.
But I say THEY are the problem and they just don’t understand.
To support my position, just look at what the left has done to so many sectors of our society:
-Academia.
-Entertainment.
-The mass media.
-Social media (pre-Elon).
-Law enforcement in blue states.
-The courts.
