Biggest lesson I learned from 2020, Covid, and BLM is that many people see government and/or political power generally as a tool for positive change but a ton of people see only an obstacle or weapon, something to inflict. I really don’t know if the two are reconcilable.

Nothing is written. Things can and will get bad. People will also fight back and care for each other in surprising ways. The worst is not inevitable. A lot of the people who want to tear down the world are near-sighted fools who will mess up.

And we will be there to pick up each other's pieces.
