Gov. J. B. Pritzker:

I'm begging my fellow politicians, Illinoisans, and Americans to realize that right now, we aren't fighting over policy or political party.

We're fighting over whether we're going to be a country rooted in empathy and kindness â€” or one rooted in cruelty and rage.

.......how we have lost our way. Recently we've been hearing that America and Americans have lost their "vibe". Sort of a blanket accusation of an overarching national decay.
