This was always intended to be at least partially about the election, but I tend to think people took care not to show enmity toward fellow Americans with opposing views here. At least that was the intention.

I draw a distinction between positive expressions of support for a candidate or cause, which I consider part of the fabric of any free society, and negative attacks on a candidate or group, which I consider to be much more inherently divisive.

I probably would not have posted the video to this forum at all normally, realizing that even minimal political content can provoke disagreements or come across as divisive. But I decided to in this case for two reasons: because it is my first time playing viola and my first time playing in a virtual orchestra in months (which makes it more worthwhile to post despite the possibility of controversy), and because I saw nothing in it attacking any person or group (even if political, at least not in a hostile manner).

That said, if it is too much politics for this forum, I do not mind taking down the post.
