A Dangerous Political Division

As these turbulent and often disturbing times unfold, it strikes me that there are two distinct camps in politics. I am not referring to Conservatives and Liberals, the Right versus the Left. I’m not talking about the protectionists versus the globalists, war hawks versus peace makers, or environmentalists versus those who would exploit the land to its final molecule of carbon fuel.

The most significant and potentially dangerous political divide is between those who see the value of maintaining a framework of rules, ethics, standards, and established governing practices, regardless of who is in power at the moment, versus those who would swiftly and eagerly do away with any rule, custom, or standard whose destruction would move them closer toward fulfilling their objectives.

The American government is moving precariously toward being taken over completely by the latter camp. Should that happen, and should enough rules and standard be overridden by their lust for complete and irrevocable power, the world will be plunged into an abysmally dark, cruel, and forbidding era from which there will be little hope of emancipation.
