True Patriotism

I read a news article about pockets of people who are ready to kill in the name of Trump. This is chilling and dystopic, but I have to remind myself that it doesn’t mean the entire conservative half of our country is about to turn violent. There’s a whole gradation of opinion, and I believe (without proof) that most people actually respect our institutions and each other.

Let the true patriots rise up and reaffirm our commitment to the constitution and each other. Your life matters to me. You are much more valuable than your opinions, though I also care about what you think. I support your right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, even if it looks different than what I want.
