Andy Schmookler: Trump and his voters and the spirit of revenge (opens the original)
Read excerpt
We've never seen anyone whose appetite for revenge is as great as Donald Trump's. Vindictiveness seems to be one of the most powerful motivations in him. People who were simply performing their professional duties have been fired. Trump has used his supporters to destroy the political careers of Republican office holders who disagreed with him, or stood up to him. He has brought bogus prosecutions to punish people who have opposed him. Trump has had his Justice Department prosecute James Comey,
Andy Schmookler: The coming midterms as a historic clash of forces (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The upcoming midterm elections are a test of power between two opposing forces. On the pro-democracy side, the opinion polls show conclusively that a large majority of the American people -- in the 60-some percent range -- has turned against Donald Trump and what he's doing with the Presidency.

While the conservative side raised that alarm, the liberal side didn't like to talk about morals much, and mostly rejected that warning. It would have been better had the liberals looked more deeply into how their own moral understanding had evolved. They'd have seen that they had let go of a lot of the norms and restr
Andy Schmookler: What changes when we see evolutionary picture? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
When science requires a civilization to change its answer to some Big Questions, the change is apt to be slow. People for centuries have looked at the human story in one way, and now science is telling them to drop that and take up what the evidence proves is actually true. Take the Copernican Revolution, in which civilization felt compelled by the evidence to recognize that the earth is not the center of the universe around which everything else revolves, but is a planet revolving around a sun
