That's where the challenge is, isn't it? We need to be able to speak to that issue without being deemed "judgmental."
We need to do more than set an example; we need to discuss these things with our children so they understand. Sometimes people underparent.

We need to do more than that; we need to educate our children about history apparently! How can anyone grow up not knowing evils of Naziism?

Many reasons, one of which is educational and family systems in which deeper conversation about right and wrong (& history) seems lacking.

Agree. And the VAST MAJORITY of those who oppose Trump do practice that. (Any movement has its crazies, on either side).

There's a difference between naming him, passionately disagreeing with him, and a personal attack. Still grappling with application myself.

But aiming for the individual both diminishes our own moral authority & in a way misses the point. Always someone standing behind him or her

This is absolutely staggering. We need to ask ourselves "What have we done or not done as a nation that this is now true?" - and CORRECT it.

It just takes mental and emotional discipline; I can feel when I get it wrong and get it right. (But there are gray areas lol)

Martin Luther King Jr. said we are to passionately oppose unjust systems but not demonize people personally. Aiming for that sweet spot.

The fact that we love someone doesn't mean we don't disagree with him. And setting boundaries is relevant collectively as well as personally

Sir, you wrote that "progressivism is a mental illness." Let's not pretend this is about my spirituality.
Things in the world are reflections of our consciousness . Politics is like anything else, either a conduit of love or a conduit of fear.

I am committed to neither, nor have I ever said I was. And is your judgment of me the non-judgment you suggest I practice?
