1/ What’s happening politically in America is the tip of an iceberg, the external reflection of a huge underlying struggle. It’s a contest between two competing visions of what America should be.

2/ Some of us find diversity appealing, a potential kaleidoscope of genius, an explosion of cultural brilliance the likes of which could only happen here. We’re excited by it and proud of it.

3/ But what to some of us seems beautiful and enriching, to others feels like cultural annihilation - an overwhelming assault on their identity against which they must defend.

4/ The fear that they will be left behind is now exploited, of course, by a master manipulator who understands their fear because he feels so much of it himself. Being destructive, he fears destruction because he subconsciously feels that he deserves it.

5/ Compassion is our only way out of this. Feel compassion for those who fear you, because love is to fear what light is to darkness. In the presence of one the other dissolves. Only love will win the war because it will take us above the battlefield.

The theft of public assets, post office, utilities, is explained in Naomi Klein’s book “shock doctrine”. It’s what we did to the Soviet union as it was breaking up. The DNC and the GOP have a vision for America. It’s the same vision. 1984. Reread the book.

respectfully, we need a Hegelian dialectic, where the 2 perspectives give rise to the emergent 3rd. the recidivism comes from people who know there is no place for them in the future. the progressive view dismisses them. we must go together. ALL of us.

we must remember these are just points of view. we have to stop fighting each other and dismantle our systems in compassion. we each can have a necessary place in that.
