I really appreciate the voices of reason, the writers who have been balancing the many, many factors playing out right now. It's easy to get on a podium and bang a drum that's meant to divide people. There's no money in nuance--but we need it now more than ever before.
We are all in this together, not just as Americans, but as humans. Every country is experiencing this and although it's easier to gravitate to a "side" because it might feel safe, the truth is, the majority of us are in fear about our health, our loved ones & our livelihoods.
I don't know a single person who isn't balancing all of these fears, some are more present than others. If you're a nurse in NYC your view of this is vastly different than a small business owner in good health. All of these worries have merit. Everyone deserves our compassion.
No one wants people to die. No one wants people to go broke. No one wants to lose their civil liberties. No one wants this. Ignore anyone using your fear to manipulate you & divide us. Because the more divided we are, the easier it is for those in power to take those liberties.
When I say "no one" I mean your average American. Not talking heads or politicians riling up their base and using our emotions and spreading conspiracy theories to snatch money and power. We are all in this together, let's fight *for* each other, not against one another.
