Steve, I don't know that our circles have to be different if we use our filters in a similar manner. I agree that the negative/fearful voices that are anti-Biden/Harris are plentiful. Would you also agree that anti-Trump voices (re: constant chants of Hitler, facism, etc.) are plentiful? Were Harris voters motivated solely by fear? I hop…

Would you also agree that anti-Trump voices (re: constant chants of Hitler, facism, etc.) are plentiful? Were Harris voters motivated solely by fear? I hope not, but nearly everything looks that way on the surface. It would be easy to conclude by the sheer volume of the loudest of opinions that nobody is voting for anyone except for fear. Fortunately we know that isn't true, that the loudest most frequent voices are not the whole story.
When avoiding the loudest, you will find an actual optimism, probably for both sides.
What can I say? As an optimist thats seeks first the good in others, I suppose my glasses are rose-colored. I believe that everyone else is selective too. I am sorry that I just turned this into a lived 'Sociology 101'.
