Like a lot of people I was surprised, and not a little dismayed at the presidential election result on Nov. 8th. I've read some of the many (many, many, many, many, MANY) analyses of what happened, why and how, and indulged in my own. Which I have now whittled down to the following succinct and (if I say so myself) brilliant summing up of the fundamental problem. Solve this and a whole lot of seemingly-impossible problems become quite solvable. -Mary Whealen THE WRONG Faith is defined by Merriam-Webster as "firm belief in something for which there is
no proof." By corollary also, "belief despite proof to the contrary." Ergo, in in the face of actuality to the contrary, both sides double down on their article of faith. Ergo, both sides are retarded kindergartners. To read more see also: Peppy Ann Artifact Bread and Circuses Moral Majority-ism of Political Correctness

I like this analysis, but there is more to it as usual. Have you ever read any Jonathan Haidt? He's done some very interesting work on elucidating the different values of conservatives and liberals, and the fact that liberals put fairness and empathy above all other things is proving to be a very serious problem.
