Maintaining that balance will be important and a challenge for many of us.

The late 60s is not a bad analogy -- Cold War, Vietnam, Kent State, Chicago Seven, Bobby Kennedy, MLK, Civil Rights coming to a head, etc. But I fear this situation may be worse. We've never had anyone like Trump as President -- and a GOP controlled Congress. I don't think we've ever been this divided in my lifetime, and the divisions seem to be intensifying.

And the Democratic Party is deeply divided right now. We need to pull together somehow ... if the party will let us do that. I'm not confident.
