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. Every generation thinks it's the worst. If we only focus on the negative, then yeah, things will always seem worse.
