As we celebrate this sacred day for American and international democratic legitimacy, let us reflect on the following premise for the future of democratic stability: Generations Z and Alpha are watching how we speak and act towards each other. These observations will become their behaviors and form their character. If all they witness is a society that engages in virulent language, castigating individuals with different political opinions as evil, what will their character be? What will democracy become? After all, the character of a democratic nation is the character of its citizens.
