I’m going to sound like some sentimental naive sap, but big picture, most of us have similar values. We want the same things. Politics makes us focus on the very very small percentage of things we disagree on and vilify one another.
When there’s a humanitarian crisis or a natural disaster, people across the political spectrum donate. Because we are compassionate.
If you’re a Yankees fan, you may hate Red Sox fans. But you are both baseball fans. And is the other fanbase really bad people? No, they just grew up in a different place, most likely.
It’s the same with religion. Most religions are much more similar than they are different. Most people end up belonging to the same religion as their parents, because it’s what they were exposed to.
Like it or not, a lot of your views were heavily influenced by circumstances beyond your control. If I grew up in different circumstances, I’d have different views and see the world differently.
Why vilify others for views that are largely a result of circumstance?
If you look at the root cause of our disagreements, it’s not usually values. People who are pro-choice don’t believe murder is good. The argument between pro-life and pro-choicers centers around when life begins. That’s not about values.
I knew my former business partner @edteach27 for a long time before politics ever came up. Great father. Compassionate person. Has he watched one too many conspiracy videos? In my opinion, yes. We may disagree politically, but I don’t dislike him.
Both parties want a prosperous economy, peace, and low inflation. They believe in different ways to achieve those things.
I disagreed with some of the decisions Orioles manager Brandon Hyde made in the MLB playoffs, but we both wanted the same thing: an orioles win. He isn’t the enemy.
I truly believe at a broad level most of us want the same things. We are so much more similar than we are different.
Politics makes it feel the other way around.
And that, my friends, is why I dislike politics.

Jesuit sophomore season is in the books! Thanks to my guys for a great year. Honored and humbled to break school records for most passing yards in a season and TD passes in a game (7). Our off-season training is underway. Time to put the work in for a big junior year. Let's go Tigers! @SWiltfong247
