Red or Blue; Republican or Democrat or Socialist or Libertarian; Black Lives Matter, White Lives Matter, All Lives Matter; Me Too Movement; Coastals and Middles; even Yankees and Southerners - it is US and THEM.

The way the world identifies is to distinguish, to find those things that make us different and distinct and use them as markers. This has always created divisions, segregation, and distrust.

He is the only Tie that can bind up this broken world.
