We can say that the Uniters believe in uniting people rather than dividing people. For fun, I propose a new party : "Uniters" and call the other parties "Dividers" (Republicans and Democrats). When you get extremist politicians who adhere fully to broken logic and rhetoric, our future is laid waste. It seems to me our nation is now tossed between two insane extremes, bickering and arguing with each other, embodied in the Republican and Democratic parties. This is a warning call to dissolve the Republican and Democratic parties. This is the perfect asymptotic approach to the extremes of both Republican and Democratic rhetoric (which are both inevitably devoid of any sound logic) - you eventually get presidents like this. Let's track some of Donald Trump's solutions to problems: Give Hurricane victims paper towels (to sop it up), rakes to wildfire fighters (make America rake again), teaching kids to look at solar eclipses (they're too smart for that), and asking for global warming in cold winters. Eg "thank you for that, now I'd really like to hear what person xyz was saying earlier". Once you see that somebody is trying to interrupt - politely redirect the discussion towards the person that was originally speaking. Foster a culture of positive communication. Try to bring up the subject with your colleagues and see what they think. Not everyone might like that you jump at their defense - your heart might be in the right place but it can come across as patronising. Is there somebody that usually interrupts? Is there somebody that usually gets interrupted and silenced? Are there signs of aggressive communication? This kind of behaviour is very normalised and insidious, so train yourself to spot it. Have a moderator/chair to observe the dynamics of your group. Build in accountability strategies (what happens if someone violates it). Make it clear that abusive behaviour will not be accepted. People! Have you seen people being rude to each other during meetings, maybe directed at women/people of colour/disabled people/LGBTQ+ people? Do you want to help prevent this abuse? Some tips you can consider as a bystander depending on the situation (thread) "In 2017, in the early stages of his RICO against the Thompsons, Ravi would often invoke Kelly, making statements such as “my attorney said we are going to crush them.”" 5/29 “I predict their marriage won’t survive the year,” Ravi asserted with laughter. ".I distinctly recall Ravi & Sanj mocking the Thompsons’ marriage & scornfully predicting how soon Brad & Lori Anne would get divorced.

"At one point, Ravi suggested to me that the Task Force “issue a statement that they are hooligans, they are scoundrels, they are thugs, they are serial extortioners.” If we didn’t do that, he told me, he would ask his attorney to do so on his behalf." 3/29 Please take time to read this piece by and the 26-page letter written by a first-hand witness.
