I’m thinking here of the distinction Karen Armstrong makes between “mythos,” which makes sense of the world and our place in it, and “logos,” which makes sense of how things in the world work.

So mythos is there in the background, at the very least, and the right pushes it into the foreground with their argument that the problem is really government in the first place, and all those people they scapegoat for trying to get something from government.

There seems to be a natural affinity between “mythos” on the right and “logos” on the left.

Meanwhile, the left relies much more on facts and analysis, but as Matt Grossmann said, there's a need for more attention to “mythos” on the left, for creating a shared reality that helps us understanding the problems we want to solve, and helps us communicate it to the public at large.

But isn’t that the American mythos?
