We Are Fucked on All These Fronts

Good faith in government is a huge thing to lose. For so many of the problems we have, like free speech on campus, there's no substitute for a consensus reflecting an intact social contract. With individuals making informed decisions based on shared values. 

Consider the judiciary. There a willingness to even recognize the element of fair play and inclusion is apparently lost to utter politicization, polarization and a drive to win. We can't have justice because Republicans killed the consensus. Thanks, assholes.
