How might the GOP phoenix resurrect Eisenhower's virtuous principles of democracy to rise up from the authoritarian ashes of Trumpism?

Equity is a missing virtue in democracy

Equity is the sacred virtue of fairness. We need slow thinking time to reflect, discuss, and negotiate a shared meaning about what fairness and unfairness mean, before engaging in generative dialogues and responding to complex questions about cultivating equity governance.

Equity governance is about co-creating fair rules, fair plays, fair games, fair opportunities, and fair rewards to benefit all, on a healthy planet. Equity governance calls for implementing the Rhodium rule.

Be fair and kind to all people, the planet, the environment, nature, biodiversity, animals, the soil, and plants.

Equity is about giving each of us, according to our particular needs, fair opportunities to strive and thrive to our highest potential of healthy well-being.

The pursuit of equity also involves enabling families, communities, organizations, networks, and institutions to cultivate the virtues to work and collaborate on the Equity Moonshot quest: co-design and build an equitable, regenerative, and sustainable future.

How might we develop gratitude and equity practices as an antidote to the tyranny of authoritarianism?

Equity governance is an antidote to megalomania and the power abuses of #BIPID (Biases,?Isms,?Prejudices,?Inequities, and?Discriminations) that cultivate cultures of fear, hate, and distrust. The political climate of distrust and uncertainty makes strongmen as authoritarian saviors seductive in ways that hoodwink the voters. Authoritarian alt-right tyranny corrodes and erodes the integrity of democracy.

Our leadership, educational, and political institutions have failed humanity in developing the virtues to cultivate equity governance for upgrading democracy.?

The questions below call for creating exponential opportunities of accelerated learning to launch Equity Moonshot story movements.

Gratitude and equity practices down-regulate the over-activated amygdala and reptilian brains that imprison mindsets within the walls of indoctrination.

• How might the GOP reverse the alt-right, regressive downward spirals into the immoral abyss?
