I saw this bumper sticker the other day:

Any Functioning Adult - 2020

I’m not registered Dem, Indie, Repub. I don’t identify with any party. Maybe it’s because I think it’s one more thing contributing to the differences between us rather than what makes us alike. Also, I really don’t like receiving political flyers in the mail.

I don’t care if you have a stack of MAGA hats in your closet or a 14” Obama portrait tattooed to your back. I don’t judge. But I do know that our children are watching. And the discord and vitriol of our leaders, and the tribalism we are prone to exhibit from whatever camp were in, lends to a greater dysfunction that we may realize.

Our children mimic us. Hopefully that mimicry will be compassion, tolerance, and love.
