Democratic Wisconsin State Senator LaTonya Johnson has decided to ignite a full-on war between city and suburbs in an outrageous Senate floor speech. ‘F- the suburbs,’ she said, folks. Yes, you heard it right. Her vulgar outburst is not only disrespectful but also worryingly divisive. This Democrat representative is openly expressing disdain for the suburbs. While some Democrats defend her words as an expression of ‘authentic concerns’, I ask you, is this the sort of rhetoric that fosters dialogue? The concerns about policing and racial inequalities are indeed valid. Yet, her explosive language risks alienating allies and obstructing progress towards solutions. Remember, respect, understanding, and empathy are the bricks and mortar of effective communication.
