As I recently remarked in this forum, at the very barest minimum, the Right needs to demonstrate that they actually have some kind of practical vision of positive, constructive governance for the benefit of Americans as a whole. Not just faux-populist anti-government ideology to use as a rhetorical smokescreen for their asset stripping of the US economy for their own benefit.
Compromise in government happens when both sides have a genuine program of policy for serving the needs of the people, and both sides have to set aside part of their own plan for the sake of enacting more important shared goals within it. When only one side has a public-service approach to policy, and the other side has abdicated its public-service responsibility in favor of selfish anti-governance obstructionism that they’ve trained their supporters to associate with “freedom”, there’s no way compromise can happen.
One side is being judged on the basis of what it accomplishes for the public good, and the other side’s being judged on the basis of how effectively it can prevent anything being accomplished, and how upset it can make the supporters of the first side. Why would the second side have any incentive to seek compromise in that situation?
If you want to see bipartisan compromise make a comeback, try electing some Republican politicians who actually give a damn about trying to make things better for people. Such as, for instance, figuring out and enacting the specific provisions of an improved version of reliable, affordable and universal healthcare. Not just trying to destroy the imperfect measures we’ve already taken towards that end, while bullshitting us that at some point they’ll get around to replacing it with some unspecified better approach.
