Here’s what we talked about today:
The last library board meeting: great example of civil communication on both sides.
Braver Angels: a handful of TillcoDems are attending a chapter meeting tonight in Hillsboro. Main challenge is that we need conservatives to join with us if we want a local chapter.
Performative Politics: Senator Tommy Tuberville’s obstruction of military promotions, as one example, and the difficulty of having real conversations in larger groups. Finding the best size for working groups.
The meetings that Tim Borman has been having with Cyrus Javadi about once a month, particularly where they address efforts to build cross-partisan understanding and conversation.
The possibility that the culture of Performative Politics has resulted from Fox News, reality TV, right-wing talk radio, and Trump himself.
The joy and pride that some of us witnessed in TBCC’s recent graduation ceremonies, particularly among hispanic families celebrating graduation of their family members.
