1) Do you miss the days when disagreements were based on policy, not personality? When people respected differences, and learned from them? When your “enemy” wasn’t another American? When “fear” was the only thing to fear, and not amplified for votes? I do.
2) Now, victory is the only goal. Instead of demanding better of our own party we point out the flaws of the other. Instead of inspiring all people to greater things- we attack those who do. Instead of loving our families we tear them apart. We divide and reaffirm our bias
3) What is the next generation learning from us? Will they correct course when all they’ve seen is anger, ALL CAPS TWEETS, and that controversy creates fame and applause? Will we give them a nation worse that we inherited, for the first time in our history?
4) I hope history will judge this moment not as the end of American goodness but another challenge met with courage. Fear will destroy us, fear creates conflict. Strength is overcoming fear, and seeing the humanity in others. Reconciliation is courageous. @COUNTRY_F1RST
