where you think he is wrong or where you would disagree (you obviously agree with him that both parties are quite alike in many respects):
...He continued, “The other thing you notice when you take a little time off is how unbelievably stupid most of the debates you see on television are. They’re completely irrelevant. They mean nothing. In five years, we won’t even remember that we had them. Trust me, as someone who has participated. And then at the same time, and this is the amazing thing, the undeniably big topics, the ones that will define our future, get virtually no discussion at all. War. Civil liberties. Emerging science. Demographic change. Corporate power. Natural resources. When was the last time you heard a legitimate debate about any of those issues? It’s been a long time. Debates like that are not permitted in American media.”
Any disagreements with that paragraph? If so, please elaborate:

but it’s not permanent. Our current orthodoxies won’t last. They’re brain dead. Nobody actually believes them. Hardly anyone’s life is improved by them. This moment is too inherently ridiculous to continue. And so it won’t,” Carlson said.
Disagree? Maybe you think the current orthodoxy as defined by the media and TPTB *is* permanent? Or that it isn't absurd? Or that it improves people's lives? Or that many are inherently ridiculuous?
“The people in charge know this; that’s why they’re hysterical and aggressive. They’re afraid. They’ve given up persuasion, they’re resorting to force.
Disagree?
But it won’t work. When honest people say what’s true, calmly and without embarrassment, they become powerful.
Disagree?
At the same time, the liars, who have been trying to silence them, shrink and they become weaker. That’s the iron law of the universe. True things prevail.
Disagree?
Where can you still find Americans saying true things? There aren’t many places left, but there are some. And that’s enough. As long as you can hear the words, there is hope.”
