To the Journal editor:

This administration is infectious. I’ve seen it with my own family members go from Biden voters to Trump voters. It is a malaise within their moral compass. Frankly, it is concerning how polarizing our two worlds are. For example, if I send my father a political video or vice versa, nine times out of ten we are not watching.

We desire confirmation bias, not each other’s world view. We have to have honest conversations about our bubbles and what we’re paying attention to in order to make proactive choices in the future. Let’s try to be open to each other, but be honest about what we’re watching and discern whether this is something useful or harmful.

However, the latest is this self-proclaimed pro-speech administration pulling Jimmy Kimmel off the air: for shame. I believe in a Republican Party, that stands for free enterprise, democracy, and strong defense. Though, this GOP isn’t recognizable through any lens.

The necessity of the Democratic Party is expressed through these terms: we live in a two-party system, but also the Democrats offer a progressive agenda for Senate and Congress in 2026. We must recognize this opportunity for our democracy that we didn’t in 2024.
