When Obama won, the right threatened violence and uprisings. They spewed vitriol and simmered in their own hatred and this is what we got.
Today, I’ve had so many conversations with people who are considering and embarking on new paths of public service. People who are talking about law school, public policy, teaching, international engagement, volunteering, even just giving radical amounts of kindness to the people around us who need it. I’m not seeing violent rhetoric or talk of violent uprisings. I’m just seeing a lot of good people saying “It’s going to be hard work, and we’ll do that hard work because we need each other.”
We can take our country back. When they go low, we go high.
