I love what you write, and I agree. Or rather, I want to agree.
We need to dispel the myth that playing dirty and arguing BS has no consequences. It has severe consequences, as the bad-faith actor loses credibility, respect, dignity and their seat at the table.
But like… Maybe I’m misinterpreting what you mean, but I’m sitting here thinking that apparently it has no consequences. Trump hasn’t gotten in any trouble for the absolute shitload of things he’s done and said over a period of at least 9 years (not to mention everything before that), and he’s still for some inexplicable reason eligible to run for president and thus have a very big seat at the biggest table there is, and is polling well for some reason. I see no reason to believe there will ever be consequences if there has been none thus far. But I really hope I’m wrong.
Thank you for writing all that. I (and I’m sure others) needed to hear it in these dark times. I’m sure there are counter arguments to at least some of it, but I’m not going to concern myself with that and instead focus on the good parts. Here’s for a better future. 🍻
