I just worry that everything’s only getting worse… Increased political correctness about everything, especially what was not controversial even five years ago; increased politicization of everything, especially in light of (but not, curiously, wholly because of) Trump; increased polarization between ideological camps; increased hatred, genuine hatred, of other side, to the extent that we condemn the principle of civility itself, on which our (small-r) republican society stands, or even talking to other side; a call for physical violence in reaction to political moves with which we disagree… God. Dear God. I don’t know… These last twelve years or so, including late Bush, Obama, and Trump—I don’t know, I really don’t know where we’re heading. But I’m really worried about all this.
