View submission: Expect More Bulldozings
The only way not reaching across the aisle workers is if you have a huge majority or use the law to hold the majority down.
I know it is human for some people to pretend someone who believes differently than they do is automatically subhuman or somehow "less" - we see it everyday. But I always smile ironically to myself.
You see, a long time ago there was an Emporer, and being a kindly person the Emporer entrusted a small child to carry the pearl of absolute truth. And being a small child, the child tripped and fell. The pearl shattered into millions of pieces. And ever since humans have unironically held up the tiny shard they have proclaiming that they have found the whole truth.
Someone on the other side of the aisle can just as easily be holding another shard of truth. Maybe one that matches yours. Humans accomplish the most when they work together as a cohesive community.
There's nothing here!
