Many questions automatically arise for me from Katie Couric's statement

If you don't know what Katie Couric said, I will share. She basically asked Bill Maher on his TV program 'how are we going to deprogram the cult of Trump?' This question raises many questions in my mind. I will share them with you.


Why would she say this?

Why does she think supporting Trump make one a cult member?

Does she think Trump supporters are not good people?

Does she think there is something wrong with Trump supporters?

Does she want everyone to think identically while not supporting Trump?

Does she want all to be obedient robots, or sheep?

Does she want all to think like her because she is right and others are wrong?

Is she arrogant?

What should I assume she thinks?

Does she believe, perhaps, that she cares more than someone else, and if so, how would she know?

Has she ever been in a Trump supporters shoes to know why they have such a stance?

Does she believe she is better, or more generous than any of them?

What makes her think she is more giving or compassionate, if so?

Does one's political ideology make a person better, or is it being better regardless of ideology?

Does she believe the left has a monopoly on being good, better, or perfect?

Is she not judging?

I can probably ask questions endlessly. I simply want to say that I know a lot of bad and good people on all sides of the political spectrum. God made us all different.
We are born apart, and leave the same way. Our journey in life ultimately depends on our individual choices and decisions with relevance to direction. We are often born at different times, years, and centuries. Many factors influence us and our choices, and decisions. Unless we live alone on an island, we will sooner or later have to relate and interact with others who think differently.

Bottom line: if people really want unity they have to stop judging others regardless of whether they understand their beliefs or not. Unity doesn't happen on our terms alone. We have to tolerate other views. We do not try to reprogram others who don't see or think like us. Katie Couric is not the only person who has said similar things. This is very alarming because it may be more of a smear campaign than what it really means literally, which is also very alarming, regardless.
