Guy Benson: We Have A Crisis In Our Politics Where Partisans On Both Sides Refuse To Accept Outcomes That They Don’t Like
Guy Benson host of the Guy Benson Show on Fox News Radio gave a passionate monologue on the crisis plaguing our politics where both sides of the political spectrum refuse to accept outcomes they don’t like. Guy said,
“So on yesterday’s show, there was so much news breaking and so many moving parts that I didn’t get around to talking about a theme that I think is really important and that is the concept of legitimacy. And the crisis that we have in our politics, where partizans on both sides, both ends of the spectrum, very often reflexively refuse to accept outcomes that they don’t like and don’t prefer and choose to delegitimize them. Often dishonestly. Or backslide into conspiratorial nonsense rather than just say, hey, the other side did this, they won, this was above board, we don’t like it. We’re going to try to work and win in the future and then pursue something more productive, a more productive and constructive path. Right. That’s generally the way that I think a healthy society in a mature and developed democratic republic like ours, that’s the way we ought to operate. But unfortunately, that’s not really the way that we operate. And I would say increasingly that seems to be the case.”
