BUCompassion in politics?
In this 2021 interview with George W. Bush, he reintroduces “compassionate conservatism” not as a relic of the past, but as a vital principle for today’s politics. In a time when outrage dominates every conversation, compassion can feel muted — easily drowned out, dismissed, even mocked. Yet Bush insists it still matters — and it’s worth protecting.
Compassion may lose the loudest debates, but it endures. He reminds us that unity and decency only count if we truly believe in them — and put them into practice, especially when we hold power. At the end of the day, catchy slogans won’t solve our problems — genuine leadership will, by cooling tensions rather than stoking them.
