We just need periodic reminders that decent, honest people still exist. We've been inundated with the lowest of the low for so long, it is easy to believe they are in the majority. Of course, it is often just because they are the loudest and in-your-face all the time.
I remember after Watergate being amazed that the "system actually worked". It was quite a revelation at the time and I really want to feel that way again. It can be discouraging as today's republicans are very different from the 1970s republicans in DC. The Trumpization of the republican party is one of the most disturbing things I have ever seen. It certainly makes me look at people differently now.
Thanks!
