I told Trump he had harnessed the power of fear (bigotry, racism, hate) for political purposes, and we would defeat him by harnessing the power of love (decency, dignity, compassion). Our task is to answer collectivized hate w/ collectivized love. I also told him love would win.

God’s love is impersonal. MLK Jr. said he was grateful God told him he had to love his enemies but “that he didn’t say I have to like them.” Loving Trump doesn’t mean I’m supposed to acquiesce to behavior that’s destructive to our democracy or to people. Sometimes Love says “No.”

We have a representative democracy and we have a republic. Having one doesn’t mean we don’t have the other.
