Parties are becoming more spontaneous.

letting go: losing something that is oh so firmiliar being true to you desires being who you are liveing for the moment and not reqreting a single moment because its exactly what you wanted

This is a classic confrontation between purists and pragmatists. It has been going on in both parties since the 1960s. This example is especially stark because DeWine and his critics are both conservative and committed to the same basic values.

These characters are not spontaneous creations. They are engineered down to the last nut and bolt.

Starting right now, attempt to live as if you have no regrets.

There is nothing which I dread so much as a division of the republic into two great parties, each arranged under its leader, and concerting measures in opposition to each other. This, in my humble apprehension, is to be dreaded as the greatest political evil under our Constitution.
