Ben Sasse next UF president?

Opinion | America’s True Divide: Pluralists vs. Zealots

The stupidity of tribalism has made politics primarily about partisan identities, not persuasion or policy. The screamers on the right and left fuel one another. In a nation as big as ours, there is always someone somewhere saying something stupid—but tribalism takes this fact as its lifeblood. And it’s the excuse for otherwise civic-minded Americans to ignore the nuts in their own party and obsess only over the nuts in the other party. We’re tempted to think that the enemy of my enemy is my friend. It takes a genuine leader to remind us that most of the time, the enemy of our enemy is still a jackass.

Nice opinion piece by the incoming UF president.

 

Good stuff, I'm optimistic about how his time at UF will work out.

 

Almost like that is who he is rather than the caricature that people are outraged about having as our president.

 

I’m still upset by his complete lack of experience at this level of higher Ed. But given the ridiculousness coming out of Tallahassee maybe his political chops are more important right now.

 

I can pretty much figure it out from context, but I have never before seen "pap" used in the way you're using it in this sentence.
