Arguably, the worst aspect of our modern era is the politicization of both a global pandemic and of hate.
The issues of our health and respect of one another in society should be a universally shared belief, regardless of race, creed, color or party affiliation. We should want to protect each other from a plague; we should want to stop spreading hate and instead promote kindness and justice for all.
But that’s not where we are in America in 2021. We are a society split in two factions: those who respect each other, and those who only respect themselves. One side cares to solve two of the biggest issues of our time; the other side couldn’t care less about them.
