[QUOTE="High Fidelity, post: 75658066, member: 346907"] After yesterday I think it will take time for things to settle and calm minds to prevail. I'm guilty of getting caught up in the anger too and I doubt those in Congress or other positions of government are immune from anger or resentment either. I know we'll disagree on Trump, but it's my opinion, as it is the opinion of many others too, that Trump has done a tremendous amount of damage socially and politically and the only way that's ever going to improve is to build bridges, tone down the rhetoric [B]on both sides[/B] and come together. Neither side are free from fault in this past decade so who knows, maybe this is the Administration that will make progress in fixing the divide. Genuinely I believe a lot of progress can be made without a great deal of effort. If we quit sniping at each other then we're less likely to get sucked in and descend into that nonsense and I'm definitely guilty of that myself, however I've always found (at least when losing weight) it's easier to control my environment than it is my own actions (in the context of healthier eating, if the junk food isn't there to begin with then I don't have to resist temptation), so I think if we tried to improve the environment and there were fewer opportunities for things to become heated then we'd start seeing gradual progress. We'll see. I remain hopeful but again, it may be business as usual except those front and centre wearing blue ties for the next 4 years instead of red, but I hope that isn't the case. Another cycle of this is only going to make things far worse and far harder to come back from. [/QUOTE]
