That said, they love their kids, same as we do. They want to succeed, same as we do. We work with them every day toward common purposes in personal and professional spaces. If we could focus on those things more and our stereotypical divisions less, perhaps we could get through to some of them—or at least convince them that we aren't EVIL. 🤔
