Meet me in the middle, says the unjust man.

You take a step toward him. He takes a step back.

There aren't two separate tribes; there are hundreds—thousands—of different ways of living, all of us living together trying to honor each other's humanity. And then there are Republicans, who want to dominate everyone as the sole default, and call everyone else "the other side."

There aren't two separate realities. There's only reality. And then their are Republicans, who have built an unsustainable tower of self-dealing lies that they try to force all the rest of us to live in, which they call "reality."

We aren't "drifting apart." We are being terrorized and abused and menaced by people who cheer the pain of others, who demand the right to do whatever they want without consequence, and who credit their own overwhelming selfishness back to themselves as virtue.

You're damn right there's hostility. Even now Mitch McConnell's party leader has sent his fascist white supremacist supporters to storm the capital building to take "their" country back, away from "us."

You reap what you sow.

Fire Mitch McConnell into the sun.
