It’s Time to Build
I'll just chime in with a fundamental truth and I don't really care who is offended or what HN rules I'll be supposedly breaking: The right has no new ideas, no desire to build anything but their own wealth, and no respect for science, nature, their fellow humans or even basic facts. They are, and always have been, fundamentally evil, full stop. Writing an essay about progress and change, but not recognizing that half the country are backwards, ignorant, selfish, fearmongering, racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic cowards who care nothing but themselves is avoiding the core issue. If everyone on the right disappeared tomorrow, the country would be a vastly better place.
