Many Americans “prefer politicians to vanquish their opponents rather than to work for the common good"... "As long as so many voters think this way, lawmakers have a strong incentive to choose obstruction over compromise..."
Blame the shutdown on citizens who prefer politicians to vanquish their opponents rather than to work for the common good
Politicians get blamed for government shutdowns. But does the fault lie also with citizens, who are more invested in punishing partisan rivals than in demanding competent government?

Suspicious about the effects of postmodernity on the republic...in crisis, the Republicans' instinct is to go back to the origins. Would not postmodernity undo this? If we believe the postmodernists, the West, c. 1982, was incapable of sustaining a discourse of origins and representations anymore.
