So well said. No human being is perfect. We can enjoy and be thankful for the freedoms we have and still seek to make things better.

Gosh, Dr. Brouwer- you’ve done it again! You’ve gotten to the crux of what has bugged me about politics over the last 13 years. I’m sure people have taken swings, including me, with defining politicians as good or bad based on their political beliefs. It just seems particularly elevated in these last years. I also feel that certain groups have had the ability to wear patriotic clothing any accessories while others don’t based on party affiliation. Marketing and media have had a lot to do with this. So as a journalist thank you for this story. It’s a good reminder of how to defend or disagree with a person’s policy beliefs without insulting their character. Hope you are well. Kindly, Jennifer Simon.
