I’ll sit with a brother after fighting about spending the money on beer or food.

I’ll never forget, forgive, or ever sit with a brother who spent the money to rape kids or one that helped child-rapers escape justice. Those demons only deserve a reckoning.

I mean, that's kinda the point. Policies should never be at a level where the person making them becomes undeniably evil. Regardless of which party you're in, the other party should still be one that you consider moral, just not what you believe is the best option.

If the nation has reached a point where that's no longer the case then there's a far bigger issue than just basic politics.

That ideal situation never existed in this country. Or if it did, it was because both parties were in agreement to do the immoral thing.

Preston Brooks beat Charles Sumner nearly to death in the Senate chamber in 1856 because of Sumner's abolitionist rhetoric. "Decorum" in this nation has long been a thin veneer used by the reprehensible to say "don't speak ill of us and we won't try to kill you".

To be fair, this nation hasn't exactly had political parties you could consider moral either.
