Once upon a time in democracy, people tried to win the hearts and minds of voters. Now, as I point out in “Our drift toward minority rule,” the trend is toward gaining power and imposing unpopular ideas onto everyone else.

The lost art of winning hearts and minds

Civilians are getting attacked from both sides in this culture war. If you say X, the right attacks you. If you say Y, the left pounces. Yet as I write in “What is a pacifist to do during a culture war?” it is up to peaceniks to save this country.

There was a time when if the president slipped on a banana peel, the entire nation laughed. “In playfully picking on the government,” I long for the days when we were a nation rather than two humorless warring factions.

G.K. Chesterton wrote, “If we ask a sane man how much he merits, his mind shrinks instantly and instantaneously. It is doubtful whether he merits six feet of earth.” But as I point out in “Pudd’nhead Sheldon,” when it comes to politics, all humility flies out the door.

Hatred built on ignorance

Here is an oddity. When I ask why people believe or support certain things, they often respond by how much they hate the other side. The Devil (or Democrats) made me do it. But as I explain in “We are not powerless,” hate needn’t drive our lives.

So, men are worse than bears. Well, let me tell you, women are worse than— In the humorous column “Unbearably poor logic,” I question the trend toward endlessly engaging in tit-for-tat point-scoring matches rather trying to solve serious problems.
