Individuals sometimes face a crisis that finally gets through to them something they had failed to see but now they have no choice but to acknowledge: “I don’t just have to change a few things. I have to change everything.” That’s where America is now.

Systemic change is fraught. Even undoing the archaic electoral college is too much. Change in oneself is far more important. So I am unconcerned really in political niggling.

It's amazing to watch these wealthy(in debt) white supremacists now caught red handed, say "So What! We knew, we don't care! We need somebody to Hate. In a lot of pain trying unsuccessfully to project it on others.

First it will need to overcome the fear and dislike of what it sees - less judgment and hatred and more understanding. It is still terrified of any acts of caring and friendship-it continues to label such acts as the great scary evil: socialism. It seems terrified of being kind

Between the suffering and desire to change- there's a step in between- unrelenting curiosity.
