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.

And there’s no reason to suggest that we can’t get through this one either.

The success of this experiment was never a given.
