 Have people become a mass of un-chivalrous motherfuckers?  Self-sacrifice used to be popular among some religious ethnic groups, but isn't really the preferred American archetype.  What I'm driving at is that there are two political parties, and neither party is supportive of the other's position.  Dem's oppose everything GOPs do or stand for, and vice versa.   While 45 was prez, Dems opposed everything he did, irrespective of merit.   This was harmful.   

Chivalry is hating 45 as intensely as it gets.   You are honored to hold  a 9.5 on  a scale of 10 for unsullied  fulminating revulsion, yet you acknowledge that it was common sense to impose tariffs against imports from China.  Suppose you admit an agenda favoring private small business could benefit a few dumb lucky little pedestrians. 

Suppose, as well, a plan to shift power from the federal government to state government could enable a more vital democratic process and possible fairer disposition of resources.  Or not.  That last thing could suck, bad.  The point in coughing it up is that I think it's worthy of unbiased consideration among other points of view.  It is chivalrous to consider opinions that may oppose your own, and those you care about.   No one in this happy hovel is suggesting anyone sell their kids and granny up the river for a tax break or paid vacation on the corporate arm.  Chivalry could be happy, cheerful, honest, friendly bipartisanship.  Chivalry was known, thought,  to exist in that past.  Or the fucking whole matter is a goddam fairy tale.  I'm just hucking it out.  There may be a purpose in discussing chivalry.  Maybe I'm not wrapped to tight.  Thanks for reading.
