I very rarely discuss politics with anyone, because it has become such an incendiary topic these days. The polar extremes have hijacked the process, and everything seems to be all or nothing, either or. That doesn't represent the reality of my life, and I am tired of it all.
Life is nuanced, and there are infinite positions between A and Z. But to find the middle ground, you have to actually be able to discuss the issues, and in the current climate of hate, fear and mistrust, we don't seem to be able to do that, either in Washington, or out in the real world. So, like many others, I focus on my narrow life and avoid even the mention of anything controversial.
