Honestly I don't feel that we are shifting away yet from polarizing narratives. It feels like a large amount of people are still stuck in those us vs. them mindsets and that that kind of othering is how they are coping with a rapidly changing world. They need labels to create order out of the randomness of the universe and instead of figuring out what they are and what people have in common they have chosen to organize around what they are NOT and how people are different from them. I look forward to seeing how you choose to face the dawn since you have more optimism than I do.
Perhaps I have simply personally chosen to turn away from those who are stuck in that mode and instead to focus on those who are amplifying a different narrative. I have noticed some who used to shout the political talking points are much less obnoxious. I’m not sure if they had a change of heart or if they are just speaking into their silos. Either way something shifted.
