This makes me so sad and feels so true.

“We're living in an age and a time where the very idea of kindness and decency is seen as something evil and vile, and something to be destroyed.  The idea that communication, concession, and working together is a sin to be vanquished.  That charity and decency is a weakness to be punished. That the more cruel that you can be is virtuous, the idea that giving fealty to your tribe is Honorable and doing anything decent and kind and good for someone who's not in your tribe is a crime, and thinking for yourself is abhorrent.  This is the is the country I'm living in right now.”
