Has it always been this way?
You watch Hannity, I watch Maddow. You think taxation is a bridge too far, I see it as an unsavory yet necessary means of collecting revenue from everybody. You apparently believe that all people are not created equal, I believe they are. You believe climate change is a liberal fever dream, I believe it is alarmingly real. You seem to think Donald Trump is all that, I believe he is a self-centered, bombastic idiot who sees this country as nothing more than his own personal ATM. You appear to have trouble with variations in color and sexuality, I’m good with all of that. You say you love Jesus yet your actions and words say something very different. I want to love Jesus but am just not sure he’s even around. You think a personal weapons arsenal is a necessity, I think such a stance is a sign of weakness and despair. You may think Stephen Colbert is a Communist. I think he’s clever and refreshingly honest and that he loves America just as much as you, and I hope he’s back on TV soon.
The list goes on. I don’t know exactly how this turns out. I suspect if resolution and bridging of differences ever does come, it will be preceded by much anguish and pain because too many of us are captive to ignorance and fear and our worst angels.
