Fundamentally transforming America is incompatible with Age of Enlightenment values.

 I don't know who created this but it is a useful illustration.

Our challenge is that there is 20% who want to fundamentally transform America into a utopian paradise where they will be the privileged vanguard.  They sit on the left in the blue box.  80% of Americans sit in the red box to the right.  Not right-wing but believers in a market economy, in human universalism, in natural rights, in due process, consent of the governed, etc.  

There is room for discussion and compromise when the boxes overlap.  There is not when they don't.
