Ward,

You're right on one count America is divided. But that's nothing new. It's the tension between liberty and control, freedom and regulation, tradition and transformation. Some call it division; I call it democracy in motion.

As for Trump's 77 million? That's the second-highest presidential vote count in history second only to Biden in the same race. Not bad for someone who's supposedly so divisive.

You're counting heads; I'm watching hearts and hands move millions of Americans who show up, speak out, and refuse to be silenced.

The American People aren't a monolith. We're not supposed to be. We're supposed to argue, disagree, and push hard that's the beauty of it. I'll take that any
day over the illusion of unity under the thumb of quiet compliance.
