I have been following the US midterm elections in the hope that the American electorate will come to its senses and put a firm brake on the nationalism and populism incarnated by their current President. One of the things that I find interesting is that the election is not so much about actual policies or proposals but about people's world view. This election is a fight between Love and Hate. On the right we have a constant flow of insults and hate for all sorts of targets (Immigrants, Jews, Blacks, Women, Muslims, Elites, Media) and on the left its all about acceptance of these same categories and more broadly caring about others and the environment. If politics becomes a fight between Good and Evil it makes it exciting and important. The worrying thing is that the fight seems so evenly balanced. I wonder when the good guys will win?
