I feel the same.

It dawned on me today why it is so depressing.
Before the country became so polarized, I rarely saw the evil intolerance of my neighbors. I've changed industries a few times in my career, but my work has always had a huge focus on my communicating ideas, such as giving presentations, teaching, and writing.

I have never felt as uncomfortable presenting an idea as I do hanging around these people in this angry time. Always a lover of spirited debate, I have no idea how to handle those who won't or can't explain their positions, only spew hate.

I wish we had not just bought a house.
