Are we going to talk about that thing that no one's talking about

Don't we all deep down crave unity and acceptance even if we have differing views?

I had someone who I deeply respect tell me "I don't like your politics". Was very hurtful. I said, Why? We may have different ideas of how to get there, but don't we all want the same things essentially? I am neither radical nor extreme nor so certain in my views that I am unwilling to hear what someone else is saying.

I am probably more Libertarian, certainly prefer to think I'm Independent; but ever since that woman decided to call certain Americans deplorables, I "came out" as full-blown Republican. Now I'm downright MAGA.

But that still doesn't mean I consult the Republican playbook to find out what to think.
