I’m posting this in Conservative because Discourse Magazine is produced by The Mercatus Center at George Mason University, a conservative think thank.

It’s always fascinating to me when reactionary institutions produce pieces like this.

In her new book “The Soul of Civility: Timeless Principles to Heal Society and Ourselves,” Alexandra Hudson makes the case that these trends are real and disturbing. But she argues that addressing the merger of politics and entertainment and the politicization of the quotidian doesn’t require big, elite-driven social change. Rather, it begins with each of us—and daily decisions we make about how we relate to others.

      Does “murder babies” refer to just abortion or do you think people who lean politically left are like killing babies in the street?

        Abortion. Unborn babies are still babies.

            Well done. You owned him with facts and logic instead of resorting to ad hominems like conservatives always accuse leftists of. It just goes to show how stereotypes don’t always apply
