I saw lots of video footage today showing what the t-p clan was doing in their tent while watching their followers at that rally, and it was so sickening to see the depravity among members of that clan, the lust for power, the warped thinking process articulated with dangerous smiling faces. It is scary, so frightening to see this type of demagoguery worship among not only themselves but those who listen to them and act on every thing they say.

I don't know if I can ever fully say that I think our society is suffering political polarization as much as this type of condition blankets or skirts the elemental processes by which it operates. Not sure I am succinctly describing all I have been thinking about but I do know that I am grateful that there are more of us whose moral compass is nothing like the hateful vitriol we've had to witness over the past several years, if not more.

I tend to think of the body of American society is riddled with a complicated type of 'cancer' by which is fueled by hatred for that which is not white.

I feel frustrated that it took this type of crisis for the proverbial spell to be broken, but it's only the beginning of lots of conscious, hard work and making the decision to commit to, as President-elect Joe Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris use as a campaign slogan, Build Back Better.

My heart hurts for our country, and for those of us who have suffered tremendously over the past year, specifically.

So much loss. So much pain. Some critical lessons we need to nail down and actively work on, to become a better people.
