Are you a person of extremes? Right now I’m confused by the opposing extremes, competing messages and uncanny ability to co-exist because of the common enemy – the left. And so I’ve been thinking about the swampy middles and how we find ways to come together. Those who are centrist right and centrist left.
There is a movement so extreme in religion, that they almost hate everyone that isn’t completely bought into that religion. And there is a movement so extreme in race, that they decidedly hate everyone that isn’t completely “pure” in that race.
Together, they are aligned with our current administration.
Yet most folks I know who support the administration do not believe in these extremes.
Your mission, if you choose to accept it: Reach out to people who may be more centrist in thinking than you believe, even if they didn’t vote how you voted. Come together. List common values. What causes do you care about defending? What rights?
Be kind. Be safe. Be appropriate. Now go!
