I have written about the rise of the extreme wing of the Democratic Party and its refusal to follow the overwhelming wishes of the American people. And I have written about growing bipartisanship in the House. Some rational Democrats have supported 86% of the bills that Speaker Kevin McCarthy has brought to the floor.
Certainly, the extremists who rewrite American history, promote racial discrimination, impose sexual ideology on children, and want to use the government to coerce the rest of us could be described as “crazy.” The fight over the debt ceiling may be the best example of the gap between the reasonable wing of American politics and the extreme wing. Mr. Biden has said he will not negotiate. He does not want a single penny cut from spending, and he will not accept any spending changes added to the debt ceiling legislation.
