Politics Now…

Politicians, in particular, are responsible for setting the tone of civil discourse. Unfortunately, many have adopted a combative, win-at-all-costs approach, abandoning the principles of mutual respect, compromise, and cooperation that are essential to a functioning democracy. By engaging in inflammatory rhetoric and fueling partisan divides, some leaders contribute to a culture of hostility that spills over into the public sphere. Instead of seeking common ground, they often choose to exploit differences for political gain, further alienating the electorate.
