The stark differences between the two parties is so obvious - brought into sharp relief just now

Dignity, empathy, humor, heart, creativity, ideas, inclusiveness, excitement, joy, class - and HOPE! - genuine beauty (of the soul)

The celebrants for Biden/Harris were for the most part wearing masks.
The magats out there screaming and waving flags almost none were.
