Eric Foner's essay here about peak polarization and the breakdown of Congress before the Civil War is worth the read.

"A fundamental necessity of democratic politics -- that each party look upon the other as a legitimate alternative government -- was destroyed."
"As North and South increasingly took different paths of economic and social development and as...antagonistic value systems and ideologies grounded in the question of slavery emerged in these sections, the political system inevitably came under severe disruptive pressures."
"Because they brought into play basic values and moral judgments, the competing sectional ideologies could not be defused by the normal processes of political compromise, nor could they be contained within the existing inter-sectional political system."

"The principal tragedy of the Biden amendment...is that it would signal a major crumbling of Federal determination to achieve equal justice...the Biden amendment is thus a real threat not only to the gains of the sixties, but to decency in this society." [NYTimes editorial, 1975]
"Biden said his amendment was designed to prevent 'Federal bureaucrats' from ordering busing...civil rights lobbyists began an immediate campaign to overturn the Biden amendment....antibusing Senators led by Helms fought to retain the original Biden restrictions." [NYTimes, 1975]
"We are declaring war on all attempts to weaken or destroy affirmative action and civil rights enforcement," Hooks [NAACP Executive Director] said. "This includes such things as the attachment of riders & amendments onto bills such as the Eagleton‐Biden amendment." [NYTimes, '78]

Nancy Pelosi: "By and large whatever orientation they came to Congress with, they know we have to hold the center. We have to go down the mainstream."

60 Minutes: "You have these wings. @AOC and her group on one side..."

Pelosi: "That's like five people."
That's quite a way to welcome a new generation of mostly progressive women of color entering the Democratic Party who are activating young people, people of color, and working-class voters of all backgrounds.
After Nancy Pelosi’s comments on AOC and progressives, let’s just remember how Democrats “in real life” feel.

#Trump en meeting dans le Montana suggère son approbation au représentant Gianforte pour avoir violenté et cassé les lunettes de @JacobsBen journaliste du @guardian. En pleine polémique sur la tribune du @nytimes rappel: pour #Trump, c'est 1 guerre à mort contre le #journalisme.
2) Et dans le même meeting, #Trump a accusé le @nytimes de haute trahison pour avoir publié la tribune anonyme contre lui. Il n'a cessé de faire huer la #presse par 1 salle chauffée à blanc...
3) Cette "radicalisation" du discours de #Trump sur la #presse interroge sur l'avenir des relations entre citoyens US et #journalisme, à court terme (la campagne électorale à venir n'est-elle pas celle de tous les dangers pour des reporters à qui il accroche 1 cible dans le dos?)
