I had an idea for a new hash tag that would go beautifully with the QOTO mentality of bringing people with opposing views together. We can call it or for short.

It will be a day where you show the things you appreciate about the other side of the spectrum.

For example if your liberal then you post something you respect about conservatives, if your conservative you post something you respect about liberals.

Each person who wants to participate should try to post one or more a day and when you see someone post something complimenting a group you are in try to respond with a similar back at them!

I'd love to hear everyones thoughts, if you all like it I can try to kick it off.

@hodot I'm going to kick one off shortly, just trying to think of how to word it.

@freemo Though "enemy" is a bit inflammatory I imagine

@freemo @hodot

I think it was Chesterton who wrote that the Bible commands to love thy neighbor and to love thy enemy as they're so often the same person. :)

@SecondJon @freemo I think #LoveThyEnemy would work honestly if that's how it was originally stated - it addresses the severity of the situation while also pushing the point of being civil to the political "other"

@freemo @hodot

Excellent! Thanks for working toward a space where we can give this a shot.
