Who is the “We” to whom Sasse refers, I wonder.
Does it include gay people, or Muslims, or trans people, or native people, or asylum seekers, or immigrants, or disabled people, or those with preexisting medical conditions, or homeless, or any people of color, or any women?

Do the “We” who “hate each other” include the people of Flint, 4 years without drinking water?
Or the relatives of the 3000 dead in Puerto Rico, who Ben Sasse’s unconfronted leader claims were fabricated by “them” to make him look bad?

Is Colin Kaepernick among Ben Sasse’s “we” who hate each other?
Is Dr. Catherine Blasy-Ford?
Was Heather Heyer?
Was Trayvon Martin?
Was Sandra Bland?

Are the children we’ve torn from their families and put in concentration camps part of Ben Sasse’s “we?”
Are their parents?
How about CHIP kids?
How about DREAMers?
How about those kneeling sons-of-bitches in the NFL?

In his new book "Why Are The People I’m Stabbing Bleeding On Me— and How to Heal," GOP Sen. Ben Sasse aims to figure out what it is that's made American politics so tribalistic and vicious, and to offer suggestions for reconciliation.
“Stop Struggling, America,” by Ben Sasse.
Ben Sasse and Jeff Flake weep as they gnaw on a human leg.
“How did it get so contentious between us and our fellow delicious Americans, Jeff?” Ben mourns.
Flake, always polite, waits until he’s finished chewing to answer.

What abusive monsters always want is reconciliation without reparation.
They want to be forgiven but not to apologize.
They want to be forgiven but not to apologize.
There is a path to reconciliation for every Republican and it begins with a letter of resignation.
However, I don’t think Ben Sasse is writing about healing and reconciliation between those of his ideologyy and any of these that he works to marginalize and harm. I don’t think he wonders or cares why such people “hate” him.
I think he means white people.
I think he means white people.
And of course among white people, the healthy moreso than the ill, the male moreso than the female, the well-off moreso than the impoverished, and gay and trans people need not apply.
Been Sassy believes that some people matter, and some people don’t, and wishes that all the people that matter would stop fighting and get along.
He longs for a halcyon past, a time of unity, when all the people that mattered peacefully agreed about all the people that don’t.
