A veteran of North Carolina politics said something that surprised me: “The more I look at the world, the more I’m convinced that the answer to our problems is love.”

Love is a word you don’t hear much in politics today.

The Time of Trump is a time of hate.

Every day, he searches for someone to hurt, insult, demean, deport, detain, detest and despise.

He brings out our worst: hate, division, grievance, prejudice, bigotry, fear, anger, contempt and resentment.

After 10 years of Trump, we could use a time of love.
