This piece was beautifully articulated. You voiced the very same concerns that i have had with the movement in our culture and institutions that calls the very foundations of our wonderful heritage and unprecedented freedoms into question by re-framing everything good as bad, inverting reality and ignoring how amazing our system truly is. Thank you.

We need a renewal from the center, built from the ground up; not motivated by a particular policy or a particular person, but simply the restoration of the foundational principles that have made the American experiment the best thing in the(political) history of the world. And we must start in the place where real citizens have a competitive advantage: Actual conversations, in person, face to face, with other human beings. Slow, yes. Annoying, yes. But also effective, also humane, and also totally beyond the reach of the powerful.
