43%

I am thinking a lot lately about living in a country where 43% of the population approves of the president. My own capacity to extend him the benefit of the doubt was depleted in-- oh, maybe February of 2017. I have surrounded myself with people who share my concerns about the calamitous costs of his corruption and incompetence. We are in the majority. But not by much.

I go to church with people who think of Trump as the most pro-life president ever. They were uncertain about him in 2016 but now they are all in.

No matter who wins the election, I don't know how we bridge that divide.
