There’s no doubt that we are going through a period right now of disruption, polarization.
People aren't looking for perpetual anger and division. They are looking for fairness and common sense and mutual respect, that deep in our gut, we want to find a way to turn towards each other again, not further away.
I think when you understand the complexities of America and the contradictions of America, I don’t think it makes you love it less. I think it makes you love it more.
