This shows the contrast between liberals and conservatives. Liberals are stuck arguing and fighting for aspects of their personal ego in the short-term, all while pretending they are virtuous. Conservatives attempt to fight for values outside their immediate ego, like for their children, good morality, civil society, a far future where they won't personally reap the benefits but their future children will.
I hope more people understand that this is the sort of shift in consciousness that needs to happen. From working towards inflating one's narcissism to fighting for values outside ego.
When RFK Jr was speaking, this quote came to my mind.
And then this one, from his uncle.
“A man does what he must — in spite of personal consequences, in spite of obstacles and dangers, and pressures — and that is the basis of all human morality.” - John F. Kennedy
And then this one.
"If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land."

Agreed.

Thank you for posting this saying…long forgotten.
