Let's pause to think about the votes of the leaders who stop to think about leading: COLUMN







As we move towards the intensity of the last days of the medium term. choiceYes, maybe we can pause for a moment of reflection and not get caught up in polls, predictions and pressurized experts.



Seeing what developed during the last month in media coverage, I realize that many have not yet learned the lessons of 2016. I learned well in 2016 that it is often better in intense times not to focus so much on a survey given or two, or in the breathless shots of a given moment in cable news, but let's take a few moments to reflect and observe the wider change of tectonic plates in American politics, and in today's world.



In 2016, after the "Access Hollywood" film of the then candidate emerged. Donald TrumpIn their crude comments, many of the media said the race was over. Some polls even showed Trump a double-digit lead. Less than two weeks later, Trump won a university election victory due to the broad movements of a large American public. And despite the myth that developed, Trump did not win by himself, he won despite himself.



Trump won in part because the change had come to the United States too quickly and too abruptly for many voters, and these voters were not given the opportunity to catch up on this disruption. Many of those who advocated a change simply told parts of America to hurry, to process, to get going with the program. The Americans were inundated with this message: chaos and constant communication of that chaos.

"Flood" in psychology is when there is too much of something, too fast, too intense, and people close or look back. If more time had been spent listening and showing compassion to Americans who are experiencing these rapid changes, I doubt very much that Trump would have been chosen.



Let's understand that 300 million Americans do not suddenly move in any direction. The American public moves slowly and with intention towards a better way. It does not make drastic changes based on any current political event, or some key moment. If given the opportunity, and not bound by leaders or the media, many will listen, learn and take action to help the United States in the future. Sometimes they make mistakes, but they always learn. But if they are forced to accept intense changes too quickly, they will be flooded, and perhaps they will close or maintain the status quo.



Just a few weeks ago there was a savage speculation that the Americans were going to punish the Democrats for how Brett Kavanaugh He was treated in the hearings of the Judicial Senate. Then, just a few days later, there was much speculation that, given that Kavanaugh was approved as a judge of the Supreme Court, the Republican Party would be punished at the polls for how upset they were by what they considered to be an injustice. Neither seems to have happened, but on election day it will give us some indicator.



Where we are today We returned to where we were two months ago, where we were six months ago, and where we were a year ago. Donald Trump remains a very unpopular president, and Americans want Congress to hold him accountable and control their actions. Also, as things stand at this moment, it is likely that the Democrats will win the House of Representatives, that the Republican Party will maintain the Senate and that the Democrats will earn a net gain in the governorships and state legislatures. But there is no guarantee of any of this, and we must wait and see what the 100 million Americans will say on November 6.



I learned in my personal relationships that by allowing the people I care about to have time to process something that I tell them, or that if I make a decision that affects them, I must give them time to process this information and reflect. about what is happening I feel the same myself, and I can say when I have been too inundated and I have improved in asking for time to reflect before answering.

Do not obsess over the latest breaking news or a new survey or the constant speculation of cable news programs. Let's give ourselves, and other voters, a little pause. Let's reflect on the broad changes in the American public that occur slowly and methodically. And we choose leaders strong enough to use reflection in their decision making, rather than those who immediately go to social networks to stir things based on fear and hatred.



And then, once we choose those leaders, let's give them the space they need without demanding immediate microwave reactions every time it happens.



We must also do this in our own lives, with our partners and loved ones, and we must also demand it from the media and political leaders. Otherwise, we will not understand where the world is really going, we will not be able to understand diverse voices and we will flood one another too quickly: fear will increase as the connections we crave will fray.



I trust that if we give this compassion and the voters of space, over time, in a series of elections, we will move our country towards a bright future. And although this election is incredibly important, it will not be the conclusion of our American history, just one more chapter in the book that we all have the responsibility of being co-authors.
