I read the following two years ago and wrote it down because it struck me as very true and something for which we need to be cognizant if we’re ever going to be a more unified country. Two years later it’s still very true.
“Are we a country becoming more divided or more unified? When historical decisions are made and elections fall to one party or the other, there is an ‘in your face’ celebration focused at those who lost. When was the last time there was an election for president that was separated by more than a few percentage points in the popular vote? When was the last time there was a unanimous Supreme Court decision on any major decision? It’s usually 5-4, or 6-3 at best. That tells me there are a lot of people who will be hurt, lost, disappointed, and even confused as to what the future holds for them and their beliefs. Where is the leader who has seen his/her case win, and then truly demonstrated a humility that there are a lot of people who are not celebrating.” -John Pickard
We are all in this together
