"Principle vs. Compromise and Adversarial
vs. Cooperative Governance"
Politics in America has almost always been ugly and adversarial.
The Soviet Union, as you may remember, had a streamlined and efficient government that did what the leadership thought needed to be done.
The "angry white men" that the bigoted Lindsey Gaham has been whining about lately CREATED the government as defined in the U.S. Constitution. Outraged men of principle MADE this country. Those are the facts, like them or not.
Angry people (vs. the legions of "mad" socialist activists we've suffered over the recent decades) have been springing up lately from the outrage that normal, every day WORKING people feel at what has happened to their country.
And yes, it IS their country, too, lest Lindsey Gaham and other liberals think it belongs exclusively to the "enlightened" politicians who feel free to conduct grand social experiments at the expense of our rights and liberties.
The "sheeple" as the Russians(!) have taken to calling us are starting to wake up and they don't like being shorn.
The two major parties have been merging from moderate fascists and radical fascists into just plain fascists. They are, in terms of natural law and Constitutional government, less adversarial than ever because neither pay attention to either. They are quibbling over who gets what and how much rather than whether there's any legal power to do what they're doing at all.
The two-party system is a failure in terms of following the Constitution and having a federal republic as outlined in the document. Corporate welfare governance and power-hungry politicians have been nailing the coffin shut for some time now. We haven't had anything approaching capitalism since before WWII so don't blame the "pursuit of happiness" or property as the cause of our economic woes.
As for compromise vs. standing firm: how can a principled man compromise on such issues as "global cooling"/"global warming"/"climate change" or whatever the backdoor socialists want to call it now? To compromise with an outrageous lie is making yourself part and parcel of that lie. To cooperate with federal fascism is to be fascist yourself.
I'd rather politicians in D.C. FIGHT and go down in flames rather than compromise. We've been trying to compromise with creeping fascism for over a century now and it hasn't worked.
Strangely enough, if we were to simply go back to following the Constitution, there wouldn't be a whole lot to argue about except within the states themselves. The individual states could basically do whatever they want to on their own in terms of social security, welfare, medicare, medicaid, socialized medicine, abortion, gun laws, etc. It is the simple, legal, and morally right action to fight for.
