Our political conflicts require resolution while the trauma of our political violence needs reconciliation.
Former President Donald Trump is helped off the stage by U.S. Secret Service agents at his campaign event in Butler, Pennsylvania, on July 13, 2024. While we watched the news of the assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump with shock, sadness and anger to learn of this kind of political violence again in our country, some of us were not surprised to witness history repeating itself in American politics.
It is time for reconciliation in the United States. Reconciliation is an act of compassion, truth, acceptance, forgiveness and justice. There is a big difference between “my opponent is old and has poor policies” and “my opponent is a threat to democracy.” If a person was indeed a “threat to democracy,” there would be a moral imperative to remove that person. That statement is an incitement to violence.
For the last few years, we have heard that Trump is a rapist when he has never been convicted of that, that he is Hitler, that our democracy is at stake.The former president set fires all over the country and the world for four years, continued to feed them for the next three, and when he gets singed, he blames the people trying to put out his fires.The power to restore civility to U.S. politics lies squarely with “we the people.
“The gunman was obviously trying to kill me at my rally. Instead, he just grazed my ear and killed one of my supporters and seriously wounded some others. I wish that bullet had not hit any of my supporters there! My ear will be fine pretty soon. The families of my dead and wounded supporters will have a lot more trouble. I extend my deepest condolences to all these families.
