‘Winner Takes All’ Makes Losers of Us All

In a recent column titled ‘We Have Reached End Stage Polarization*,’ conservative Christian writer David French calls out the ill effects of fanning political disagreements into emotional hatred.  “In the United States,” he writes at one point, “there should never be any such thing as a winner-takes-all electoral result.”

Well, today we live under an administration which disagrees; which is governing the nation as if they have taken full ownership of it and who treat other free nations as zero-sum competitors to be trampled on whenever circumstance provides cover.

E Unum Pluribus is a new speculative fiction exploring where such a politics may soon lead us.  In the chaos of the USA’s dissolution, it finds deprivation, mystery, conspiracy and perhaps the first small signs of new beginnings.
