Yeah, that is hard when you have a country as polarized our country is, and the fact that we hate each other. Republicans are here to stay

The country is only "polarized" on inconsqeuential culture war issues that the powerful have conditioned us to believe are important. On the issues that matter the overwhelming majority of Americans agree. We also don't hate each other, we translate our instinctual hatred of the elite into hatred of an abstract supporter of what we believe to be that elite.
That being said, simply throwing the conservative justices out of the court is impossible for other reasons.

I would consider prison or death to be somewhat consequential.

Maybe you should take a step away from this site for a moment and collect yourself. It isn't good to be stressing yourself like this.

much good it would do me to step away, or step outside and touch grass, or whatever
this world is awash with authoritarians and it is vastly all the worse for it

The overwhelming majority of Americans support ending the drug war & the mass imprisoment it causes. Not the case with the death penalty however support for it has been going down.Prima Scriptura wrote:Those cultural issues are important to many Americans, including myself
But that doesn't imply polarization or hatred, just an artificial partisanship resulting from those cultural issues despite the fact that on most other issues people agree.

The overwhelming majority of Americans may support ending the drug war, but that's not happening, nor is it an effective end to these cultural conflicts if it did.

True on both counts unfortunately. I wish the government was effective and uncorrupted enough to actually take care of these things.

That requires electing pragmatists. Unfortunately, not enough Americans don’t care or view pragmatism as being weak. That feeling is on both the left and the right.
