Probably not very true but still fun to read. linkage

I, of course, want to believe every juicy detail, which no doubt fucks up my bullshit detector.

This part is true though:

Democracy as a government relies upon the ability of factions to compromise on divisive issues through rational debate instead of violence. The current political power brokers have figured out how to short circuit this process by focusing national attention on issues which are based on differences of non-negotiable, irrational moral sentiment, and are thus not subject to resolution through rational reconciliation. They've broken democracy.
