It does not portend well for our nation.

It carries on its shoulders resentment, hatred, and division.

It would serve us well to come together as one people - for the benefit of all.

The partisan divisions seem to be insurmountable.

Blessed are the peacemakers.

The upcoming eclipse will cast a dark shadow across America. But then, it will be gone.

Somebody, something, is making that ill wind blow and coming together simply can not happen until said blowers are discredited.

Until the drivers of the recreational paranoia and wanting war against the 'other' are cast aside, unity and everyone coming together as one people is a non-starter.
