14. The thing is, we judge without actually knowing.

Fanning the flames of contempt is what FOX News and Rush Limbaugh did so well. But we have forces on our side fueling outrage and contempt is the same emotion that allowed the Holocaust – based on contemptible stereotypes about Jews and other marginalized groups.

Contempt is supremely dehumanizing. RW media is dehumanizing us. Our calling then is to rehumanize ourselves and others.

Sadly, both my intelligent educated sons, good family men, loving fathers, active and loving presences in diverse communities, who have never exhibited racial prejudice, voted for Trump. They aren't evil or contemptible, but they have fallen prey to disinformation and information warfare. There are millions in that category.

I hope that the echo chamber will break down as they encounter what's ahead. Berating them or guilt-tripping them or acting superior is only going to harden their beliefs. Building bridges has a better chance of working.
