The True American author Anand Giridharadas shared a story Friday in tweet form, prefacing that his 14-tweet thread "will solve none of our large problems but might make you smile." Some joy is a welcome relief as social media becomes an ever darker place in Trump's America.
A Muslim friend recently told Giridharadas about one of her relatives who joked, "Trump is the best thing ever to happen to their community." His friend was predictably shocked. But the lesson Giridharadas learned from the encounter shows Trump's divisive rhetoric has unearthed everyday kindnesses.

12. @kristatippett once wrote this so brilliantly about how we waste love by confining it largely to family and interpersonal relationships. pic.twitter.com/12XcaByByb

13. Trump may revive in us a lost connotation of love: love as an act that crosses tribal lines. Love that is more than "live and let live."

14. Tolerance isn't going to save us. It's no longer about live and let live. It's about love and get love. Go to it.

Go to it is right.
