The right is not the new counter culture. It’s the middle. Joe Rogan represents all the oppressed voices in the middle. Common sense, unbridled curiosity, palpable joy and unwavering integrity. That’s Joe’s success, and the hopeful mirror of us all.

The Left has become so authoritarian that being in the middle IS counterculture.

Yes. The Left is the new Right. The Right doesn’t know what they are.

We need new ways to talk about worldview and political ideas. Left-right is too restrictive IMO. But things are changing so rapidly in our society ….

I do not think we need new verbiage. I am so weary of changing the term as if that changes the meaning. We need to realize that left-right is a continuum where each of us fall differently for each issue. Then each of us needs to decide which candidate will serve us best. This vote abortion, vote guns, vote inflation is not serving the citizenry well. To the extent there is an us versus them, the citizens, all of us, are the US and the elected leadership and their bureaucrats are the THEM. It is the citizens who need to reach across the aisle to each other and send a clear message to those we elect that the party is over and it is time to get back to work.
