Stage four is terminal, but thinking that both parties equally participated in the infection is brain dead. Both parties participated, but the “equally” notion is absurd.

That is one we agree on. The core problem for me is that the two parties are in power because of the electorate. And as I have strongly believed for decades, those we elect are not the problem. The problem is the electorate.

P. J O’Roarke made an interesting comment about 20 years ago, and I paraphrase, “Do you wonder why Americans choose the elected officials they do? Well, have you listened to their music, seen their music and the books they read? Hell, have you been to the mall and SEEN ‘EM?

I have. That is one of the reasons I believe it is terminal and has been for quite a while.

The damage has been done beyond repair. The bus is headed for a concrete wall 50 feet ahead at 80 mph. How you apply the brakes really doesn’t matter that much now. That was a decision for 1,000 feet back. I’d worry about how effective your seat belt is.
