Olive branch gladly extended to those who would be willing to grasp it.

Sadly, it not only seems that the “Right” isn’t willing to grasp it, but would also happily use it to jab out our eyes simply due to political differences.

Empathy is denigrated.

Compassion is derided.

Skin color is being used as a weapon.

We’re in challenging times.

the fence between us, left and right, is an electric barbed wire divide. Jeanne and I are living in a south -central Colorado county that voted 70/30 for Trump. Our last “protest” demonstration drew 450 of us with a lot of grey hair. We only had one incident of “coal-rolling “ this time and he got chased and ticketed by police who have patrolled our demonstrations after a spate of this behavior and hurled profanities, mostly from pickup trucks. Hard to accept this is happening in America and that it is a small virulent minority that has infected the Republican party and taken control of Washington. They are the loudest voice in the room.
