The Roots of Our Partisan Divide, by Christopher Caldwell.
Partisanship is part and parcel of Governance itself. It is the engine that drives the whole shebang. The "root" of partisanship can be traced back to the dawn of mankind. Ooog wanted to go this way and Awg wanted to go that....debate ensued, clubs were employed and well...a decision was arrived upon...while at least one caveman lay dead or dying the clan went ....THAT way! LOL
The Constitution protects minorities, but it does not intend to magnify them. That takes Liberal thinking. Gender confusion affects a few percent of the population. In the US, they are protected by the Constitution as are we all - except for the distortions of the Constitution wrought by liberals now chipping away at the protection of our rights. Any idea that attempts to COMPENSATE for perceived inequities in society ALWAYS have the effect of taking away the rights of everyone else. Segregation, affirmative action, the Civil Rights Act, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission...all of these went past Constitutional protection into actual discrimination against the MAJORITY at the time. (Now arguably the minority, still at the Statutorially imposed disadvantage!)
