“The idea that Swift, who on Tuesday endorsed Kamala Harris for president, should purge from her life people who don’t share her political beliefs is not a healthy or enlightened one.

Intellectual diversity enriches our lives and sharpens us, which is why so many preeminent thinkers throughout history have embraced it. ‘I never considered a difference of opinion in politics, in religion, in philosophy, as cause for withdrawing from a friend,’ Thomas Jefferson famously observed.” (09/16/24)
