Changing the Focus

I listen to the Republicans, and their patter is all trash talk, no goals, no solutions. Words that are aimed to diminish others, to enflame and enrage.

 There's a better way.

What would happen if we focused on 

the event, or the policy, and not the person?

This calls for a measured response. Listening before speaking. 

It might take a change in behavior. Instead of lashing out, developing the ability to skip a beat before responding.

What would happen if we looked toward the solution instead of back at the problem?

We might just find common goals. From there mutual respect. We might just stop aiming our words at each other.
