Secular humanism was taught in high schools and colleges, and practiced every where for decades running.  In the main it was intended to allow greater tolerance and diversity.  It was a philosophy of teaching and learning.   Aggression is discouraged in favor of kindness, accommodation and love.  These days, no one gives a shit about secular humanism.

Might be time to dig it back up.  Humanists believed in ignoring hostile or abusive behavior while responding favorably to prosocial stuff.   Ignore Donald Trump.   Focus on human relations, the way people used to before aggressive behavior became the thing.   Resolve conflict.  Teach tolerance.   Promote creativity.   

 

 Try reasoning with people.  See where it gets you.   One could wing up a new concept of the two party system.   Democrats and Republicans needn't oppose one another.   It's legal to agree with an enemy, as long as no one breaks the law, or gets physically stomped on.   But most politicians committed shitloads of crime, white collar, common theft, even some rough stuff.  

 Still,  Dems and GOP individuals aren't enemies, unless they think they are.   Picture a male Democrat and female Republican having sex.   It's a quickie.   They met at a bar, got a snoot full, soon they felt the animal need for sex.  After, there is reflection.    They smoke a cigarette, roll around, and talk politics.

"I'm conservative, a traditionalist, if you will,"  the dour yet lucidly sensuous female Republican says to her pudgy, balding date.

"As long as we have time left before checkout, why don't we have a long talk about the affordable housing debacle?" the male Democrat says.

"That was some really, really satisfying sex, Bill," she said.   "That's why I feel calm and settled enough to talk about banal, unpleasant realities for which everyone holds a fragment of responsibility."

"Shirley," he responds, "I appreciate the way you are able to compartmentalize. All I have for now is what appears to be an agreement.   That thing you said last night during foreplay, about affordable housing, is good here."

Those two people are reasonable.  Different political party, otiose agreement on the issues.   They don't need to be oppositional towards each other.    Members of both parties are sexually compatible, irrespective of affordable housing, DEI, the civil rights movement of whenever, and they can disagree anytime, on anything, while sustaining hot sex.   Sixty nine.   Sit on each other's face.   It's a two party system.  Orgy time.
