Morain09/18/25A CALL FOR RADICAL MODERATIONAnother political leader killed, and another frustrating challenge on what to say, what to do. True leaders, the ones we desperately need right now, don’t take this opportunity to blame the other side for political violence. True leaders don’t whip up their followers in a time of rage, vowing retribution. Abraham Lincoln, himself a victim of political violence, called Americans to heed “the better angels of our nature” in his First Inaugural Address in 1860. True leaders don’t ignore the violent acts of proponents of their own political philosophy.
