Briefly

Utah Gov. Cox appealed for civility after Charlie Kirk's murder. Did America listen?
"Politics is replacing religion."
"I would encourage people to log off, turn off, touch grass, hug a family member, go out and do good in your community,"
"We have to decide: Is this an off-ramp?"
"Here we are months later, and the response continues to be overwhelmingly positive."
Spencer Cox combines personal faith with political leadership and warns that politics is replacing religion. After the assassination of activist Charlie Kirk, Cox urged people to disconnect from online outrage and perform community service: log off, touch grass, hug family, and do good locally. Cox reports widespread positive responses, including a mother whose son redirected his life and feedback from as far away as New Zealand. Cox emphasizes 'disagreeing better' and civility, arguing that electoral victories alone will not heal national divisions. Cox links cultural polarization to policy debates such as nuclear power and artificial intelligence.
