What I love about this post is the apparent cross between disaffection and real investment. I hope you are right about the being-done-with-hating-each-other. Sure would make it easier to have a good conversation. I have a feeling this is one of those things that could play out really differently in flyover country and on the coasts, though.
I don’t agree with everything you’ve said here, especially around the characterization of some of the characters in the drama but I really feel it bubbling up all around and I support anyone resisting the pull of those who would divide us. I so hope that what I feel is real, that the division is truly virtual and not real in the same sense as the physical/metaphysical experience of love for your fellow human. Hating your fellow human is wrong and we all know it. They use that against us, entrapping us in the delicious moral treat of mistreating someone while feeling righteous about it. This trick has caused us to forget everything. But people are remembering. I remember. I see and feel it everywhere. People are waking up.

Very fair point
