I align with ideas I find meritorious and care not which wing they supposedly come from. If those on the right are serious about real personal freedom and not simply wallowing in the conditional hypocrisy I outlined above, then I'm delighted. I didn't see it in Trump, and I haven't seen it in congress. The left -- and I hate to even call our liberal political figures that -- are acting like the authoritarian right of two or three decades ago, yelling for censorship and more authoritarian rule. I detest it and will never vote for it. So I find myself outside of both of these simplistically labeled wings.
Instead of wings I feel a more accurate lens is class -- elites vs. the rest of us, which has pretty much been what all the fighting's been about since the first king raised an army to guard the grain.
So, yes, partisanship is poison, and I'm waiting for more people to recognize this fact.
