I woke this morning to news about more White House drama. Once again I think.....this never ends. And yet, so many American citizens are now accepting 45's questionable behavior as the new normal. Nevermind the crew he's gathered around to "advise" him.
And then I stop myself and try to think about "the other side" and what keeps them so loyal to the man now sitting in the Oval Office. I simply do not understand. But I have a plan.
I'd like to "challenge" someone who is supportive of the President to swap with me. I'd like to agree to change places for one week.....and honestly try to adopt the other perspective. I will agree to only listen to Fox News and watch Fox TV and my "partner" will agree to only listen to NPR and watch one of the major networks.
We will promise to suspend disbelief and critical thinking and just listen to "the other side"....and after the week we will get together and have a thoughtful, quiet and respectful conversation.
I'm wondering how this would work. Would I be able to listen and not critique....would I try to accept the reporting as truth? Could I? Is there a happy medium ground? I don't know.....but I am willing to give it a try.
Anyone want to join me?
