[FRIAM] post debate

[Prof David West]

I share this with a bit of trepidation, but ...

I was engaged in a conversation with some of my 'ultra-liberal democratic' friends in Santa Fe after the debate. The denouement of the discussion was their comment:

"Both sides have so successfully demonized the other that fear is the single most dominant issue in this election. Both sides are convinced that the apocalypse will result from the other side winning. There is no rationality left."
