  The Bitter End - The 2020...

  The year 2020 was a tumultuous time in American politics. It brought a global pandemic, protests for racial justice, and a razor-thin presidential election outcome. It culminated in an attack on the US Capitol that attempted to deny Joe Biden's victory. The Bitter End explores the long-term trends and short-term shocks that shaped this dramatic year and what these changes could mean for the future. 
   
   
   
  John Sides, Chris Tausanovitch, and Lynn Vavreck demonstrate that Trump's presidency intensified the partisan politics of the previous decades. Presidential elections have become calcified, with less chance of big swings in either party's favor. Republicans remained loyal to Trump and kept the election close, despite Trump's many scandals, a recession, and the pandemic. But in a narrowly divided electorate even small changes can have big consequences. The pandemic was a case in point: when Trump pushed to reopen the country even as infections mounted, support for Biden increased. The authors explain that, paradoxically, even as Biden's win came at a time of heightened party loyalty, there remained room for shifts that shaped the election's outcome. Ultimately, the events of 2020 showed that instead of the country coming together to face national challenges—the pandemic, George Floyd's murder, and the Capitol riot—these challenges only reinforced divisions.

  Humility - The Path to True...

  Humility is often misunderstood as weakness or self-deprecation, but in truth, it is a powerful and essential quality that can transform individuals and their relationships. At its core, humility is the ability to recognize and accept one's limitations while maintaining a genuine respect for others. It involves an understanding that we are all connected and that our worth is not determined by our achievements or status, but by our ability to serve others and contribute to the greater good. 
  True humility begins with self-awareness. It’s about knowing your strengths and weaknesses without letting either define you. Humble individuals don’t boast about their accomplishments or dismiss their abilities. Instead, they are grounded in their reality, understanding that personal growth and development are ongoing processes. Humility isn’t a state of perfection, but an attitude of openness, learning, and growth. 
  In its essence, humility is an antidote to arrogance and pride. It reminds us that no matter how successful or skilled we become, we are never above others. Humility invites us to listen before speaking, to help before expecting help, and to learn from everyone we encounter. It’s about putting the needs of others before our own desires and understanding that true greatness lies not in what we achieve but in how we uplift those around us.
