Saw this on Eric Weinstein’s twitter. It isn’t a huge sign or the end of the rainbow, but it is an indicator.
First the angry hardcore right wing Tea Party cost the Republicans power and created a natural shift to the left for the independents and those caught in the middle. Then the left wing ran with that momentum but went absolutely horse nuts crazy, and it cost them an election. I think we might still be one or two presidential elections away but my hope is that the country has seen each side’s version of crazy and is more attracted to the reasonable middle AND that the crazies on each side will have run their course and won’t command the same attention they have recently.
