I normally try very hard not to get distracted by national politics. This video is an exception worth sharing. One one side of our national politics we have people who fear a "great purge," where our big-tech companies and winning political party are "using their power to repress, silence, ruin and criminalize tens of millions of private citizens for the crime of opposing them politically." And on the other side of the debate we have leaders vigorously enforcing the rule of law to prosecute those who aid and abet criminal activities. Professor Swire explains how and why we should reconcile and ends his interview with these quotes from Abraham Lincoln:
A government of the people, by the people, for [all] the people should not perish from the earth.
With malice toward none; with charity for all; with firmness in the right, as God gives us to see the right, let us strive on to finish the work we are in; to bind up the nation's wounds; to care for him who shall have borne the battle, and for his widow, and his orphan—to do all which may achieve and cherish a just, and a lasting peace, among ourselves, and with all nations.
