A Plea for Peace, Science and Sanity
And why it isn’t about politics this time
I think it is indisputable that 2020 is a different year than normal. Between an impeachment, the pandemic, and the protests, this year is clearly one for the history books.
So it makes sense that this year’s election would be different than the norm too.
Growing up, I remember hearing the debates during family gatherings on Republican versus Democrat viewpoints on various topics. These debates were always civil, as my family tends to calmly debate without animosity, only to have each member return home without changing their opinions, ready to debate again the next time.
I grew up knowing that I had the right to my own opinions on whatever topic, and that family ties were strong enough to handle differing opinions without letting them affect relationships.
But this year’s election appears to be very little about politics.
Both sides know it too. The 2020 election seems to come down to the person in charge, not the policies that they bring with them.
That’s why so much of Biden’s commercials are against Trump, himself, as opposed to Republican viewpoints. It is why…
