This. This is what it's all about now, and it's a big reason why we are in the shape we're in.

It isn't about what's best for the USA, or Canada, or Alberta. It's about making sure you bask in the suffering and sorrows of your enemies. Enemies that don't even exist, but a charismatic group of charlatans have managed to convince you do.

The person to your left or right can't be considered to be your brother or sister, your fellow countryman, or even a human being. They are evaluated by team and tribe, and all that matters is to ensure they lose and hurt. Inflicting harm is the new political currency.

Having these thoughts or expressions should be an opportunity to stop and really analyze your motivations and what you're saying. It's the absence of empathy and critical thought, and it's killing us. It's gross.

I'm certainly not surprised that it's the way it is because it's clearly an effective weapon, but damn if it isn't just so disheartening to witness.

I believe I referenced this quote after that post-election SNL in 2020, but it still fits here:

I would implore everybody who’s celebrating a day to remember, it’s good to be a humble winner. Remember when I was here four years ago? Remember how bad that felt? Remember that half the country right now still feels that way. Please remember that.

Remember that for the first time in the history of America, the life expectancy of white people is dropping. Because of heroin, because of suicide. All these white people out there that feel that anguish, that pain, they are mad because they think nobody cares, and maybe they don’t. Let me tell you something. I know how that feels. I promise you, I know how that feels.

If you’re a police officer, and every time you put your uniform on, you feel like you’ve got a target on your back, you’re appalled by the ingratitude that people have when you would risk your life to save them — Oh, man, believe me, believe me, I know how that feels. Everyone knows how that feels.

But here’s the difference between me and you. You guys hate each other for that. And I don’t hate anybody. I just hate that feeling. That’s what I fight through. That’s what I suggest you fight through. You got to find a way to live your life. You got to find a way to forgive each other. You got to find a way to find joy in your existence in spite of that feeling.
