Today civil political discourse seems like a Tasmanian Tiger or Passenger Pigeon: a fascinating thing of the past but gone for good. Political turbulence marks us, and with it an “in your face, no holds barred” verbal warfare that abounds on social media, podcasts, and elsewhere. I don’t want to describe its causes or measure its reach. Nor do I want to argue that strong rhetoric in the face of social problems is necessarily wrong. One need only think of the work of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. in fighting against racism to see the value of a determined advocate in leading a cause. And many causes there have been in the past fifty years. Indeed, our age has been dominated by what has been called the culture wars.
