I'm starting to see more and more people frame the last election as though it was a triumph of evil rather than the inevitable result of people growing more and more disillusioned with the concept of America. I haven't seen it too many places, but I'm worried that it will start to become more common. I get it, it's a lot easier to demonize Trump voters than admit that we don't have anything to unify us beyond the belief that our leaders suck at their jobs. My thinking, though, is that there has to be a center of mass within the various things we believe and value, and if we can find where that center of mass is, we can put something there for people to worship. Once we do that, I think that rebuilding society will be a piece of cake. The trouble is getting people to invest themselves in the world enough for us to find where the center of mass is. That's not going to happen if everyone is convinced that everyone else around them is a monster instead of a human looking for a God they can worship. Remember, this world is only real as long as we believe that it exists. If you want to see why a world is failing, look for the things people need in order to believe in it again.
