We are a country divided, that’s for sure. Hell, we’re divided among family and friends, with relationships forever torn because of politics. I’ve often heard that there’s more that unites us than divides us, but the more we push forward with political strife, the wider the divide among us seems to be.

We all want to be heard, but fewer each day want to listen. We seek out and champion those that agree with us, then turn off and jeer those that have a dissenting opinion. While none of this is new or a surprise to you, the reader, it seems to make us all a bit more cynical of humanity with each passing political tweet, politically charged social media post, or even the political letters to the editor.
