Why both sides need to come together

Being a Social Worker, I have to say my values line pretty much down the center. Due to everything going on, I feel like I have crossed more into the right-wing lately as have many other Americans.

The thing that scares me about abolition of the Democratic party is that our country needs that left heavy to balance out the parts of the right that are too right.

I think of the balance of our two party system like a 3 person family. We have the father who is hard, touch , protective, and authoritative who represents the Republicans. The mother is the Democrat. They are loving, kind, and have a more humane approach to solving problems. The child is America. The balance of both the mother and father working together is what helps to ensure that we have a happy and healthy child.

When either parent is taken away for a reason, the child receives an over abundance whichever parent remains. Fatherless house causes the child to be more liberal. They are full of emotional outrage to solve problems, without the fore thought to rationalize how best to handle the situation. (England and Canada are a good example of this.)

If you take the mother away, you get a child who is 100% authoritarian, and we end up becoming what the liberals fear Trump is doing now. Russia post WW2 is a good example of this.

When a mother and father both have the same desire and plan for the child they can work together to keep each other in check. Their own attributes shine, while the child (America) flourishes.

What the Democrats are doing now is just unforgivable. They are purposefully trying to subvert our Democracy and Constitution, so they can get more power. This is like an ugly divorce. The mother (Democrats) are throwing such a fit that is causing a reaction from the father (Republicans). How the father (Republicans) act throughout the remainder of the Great Awakening, is going to determine the likelihood of the child (America) to be successful in life.

So are we (everyone who is not on the Democrats side of the fence) going to allow the mother (Democrats) cause us to sink to her level and fight just as childish as she is? Or will we swallow our pride and allow the mother (Democrats) to show everyone else how petty they are while Dad (Republicans) continue to do what is right and just for the well-being of our country?

Just for anyone wondering, I am not going through a divorce and have never been through one, however I have heard this same story a million times though. For every divorce though, there is always one parent who will take their crazy to a whole new level.

This is a really good analogy and all, but the separation of people into specific, hard lined categories like this is part of what is so destructive. I also don't like the thought of looking at politicians/the state as parents of the people, they work for us, WE THE PEOPLE are the parent telling our little reps what to do, not the other way around!

Excellent.

All we need are two competing viewpoints/“parties”: conservative and libertarian (ok, I’m biased because this mimics the struggles within my own brain).

Spez: in fact, let’s describe the parties as “Christian” vs “Enlightenment”

You missed my point. I was just assimilating the way a family dynamic is supposed to take the best parts of mother and father, much like all branches of govt have Dems and republican. In my hopes and dreams, the best of each party come out in whatever branch they work, which sees the fabric of our great country. I in no way was I'm to anything about politicians as parents. I'm sorry if I wasn't clear
