Since you mentioned Pence--I find it interesting that Pence chose what he saw as his duty over standing by his President in the same moment that Cruz chose the opposite position.
"Always win these fights" in what sense?
I think their insistence on always doubling down--their inability to police their own party--is one of the great advantages that the Republican party has. Republicans do police their own party, and I think that is part of why the Republicans control...
I voted for Ted Cruz in the 2016 primaries, so I wasn't saying this lightly. I feel that Ted Cruz tried to have his cake and eat it too. I think he went along with Trump's call to oppose the election certification just as an effort to appease Trump's supporters, when he knew that it was 'never...

I'd recommend Jonathan Haidt's "The Righteous Mind". He expounds on these very themes of values, skepticism/acceptance. Very insightful book.
I generally agree with you on your assessment; it gives a good explanation of the right/left divide in our country. Particularly, this theory allows for...
